I'm asking myself "Why should I play this game?". Two games gives me an answer.
Maschine Zeit: "It?s been said that you never really know your friends until you see them when they?re about to die."
Burning Wheels: "Manipulating ... numbers and priorities within situations presented by the game master (GM) is what the game is all about."
The rest of the descriptions are mostly HOW to handle WHAT, and that's unimportant to know as a first approach. Those descriptions are at best telling it implicitly, forcing me to do my own interpretation of what the game is about.
