That's one of the three main problems I had: someone can play
literally five times as well as the other players combined and still
lose the game in the final draw. Why not just keep score with the
carrots?

The other two problems I had were that it's possible to spend very
large spans of time unable to do anything at all (it's very similar to
unmodified Milles Bournes that way); and that pretty much everything
interesting in the game was done earlier, and better, in Nuclear War.
