Allow me to explain: Normally a Runner cannot both visit a Location and
take part in a
shadowrun. (Runners have to turn to visit, and only unturned Runners
can participate in a
shadowrun.) This is handled by the core rules; to repeat this on a card
is unecessarily redundant, and leads to the belief that some other
effect was intended. Namely, that in using
Fuchi, you bypass your shadowrun phase -- again, this matches with the
Z-zone, and balances
out the Fuchi card. Otherwise, you just send teams of two or three
deckers in waves, and build
up a lot of nuyen very quickly (or, with the right deckers and decks,
score as much Rep as
another player might get on a shadowrun with Challenges on it).
So the answer is, no, you may not use Fuchi and go on "another"
shadowrun with non-Deckers.
I've forgotten who posed the original conecpt; it seems ridiculously
rules-lawyerish the more I think about it.
