The "why" and "how" are not exactly the object of a game, though. Board game blurbs are much more specific about their goals: "accumulate more points than your opponents" or "conquer the capital cities to win." With roleplaying games, is the "why" as close as we can get? Is "why play?" the OBJECT of the game?
