This is one of the best games I've tortured my friends with. And for sure the most fun to read manual.
I played it unplanned straight from the manual without issue. I had them stop the Evergiven from blocking the Suez canal in 2021 and one of them landed in the drink. Describing the rerolls and handing out good tokens for dumb stuff was super fun.
The rule regarding giving good tokens for hilarious situations also makes it possible (with the right Big Banana) to "win" by having all of the PCs retrieve the closest set of dice and then sit down and play Banana Light recursively.
