If the Clones are tokens, can you target them as if they were runner
cards?
For instance:

Bam-Bam gets cloned and sends his clone with a real Tin Man on a
shadowrun. The first challege faced is a Booby Trap. Can the clone be
trashed instead of Tin Man?

Can a clone be targeted by a Wanted?

The easy way out would be to simply say, no. A clone is not a runner. If
this is the case, a clone couldn't visit most locations or contacts
either since they say, "turn visiting runner". Also a clone wouldn't be
able to go on a Shadowrun, since the rulebook says, "Designate up to six
unturned Runners as your shadowrunning team."

I guess in this case, a token isn't just a token.

more proof that you're all really silly.
