I see an advantage. If I send a guy like Thrash to Shadowland over the
course of three rounds to Shadowland, and get three info tokens, can I
give them to Tin Man to take on the next round when I run with Tin Man,
but not with Thrash? Can Tin Man use three info tokens on one challenge
(if the first one fails, use the second, if the second fails, use the
third)? If you can't use multiple tokens, then you would want to spread
them out by giving them to other runners. if you have runners that do
nothing (like rockers) then you would send them to Shadowland and give
the info tokens to runners that will run. All you need is a few rounds
of token collecting, then a round to transfer, and that should be plenty
of tokens for the next two or three runs.
