It's kind of like a more cerebral party game. The object of the game is not to win; the object of the game is to use it as a framework for a social interaction. The closest analogue is probably something like Apples to Apples, but with debate permitted. You're trying to make the most amusing (and therefore strongest) play every turn, but nobody really cares who wins.
