It is indescribable. But.. we will attempt to metaphor. You open up a can of creativity and see what spills out. This is a game that attempts to disprove Newton's Law by showing that in the realms of the imagination, the force to smash a fictional pumpkin is not always met by an equal and opposing force to save the aforementioned fictional pumpkin.
Scenario A:
Bob: I have drawn a Pumpkin
Smead: I will now squash your pumpkin by drawing a hammer hanging precariously above it.
Bob: (pondering...) Bun of a Snitch...
Smead: Your turn.
Bob: (Scribbling) Hold on. There is now a gigantic sponge on top of my pumpkin. My sponge absorbs the shock of your hammer.
Smead: So we do this back and forth until somebody slips up and overlooks one of the multiple threats lurking around the pumpkin, or else (on the opposing side) fails to threaten its safety?
Bob: Pretty much, yep.
Smead: Wait--who blocks with a sponge?
Bob: I do.
Smead: This game is weird.
(loud clapping)
The End Of Scenario A

So let me get this straight... Spiderman, with his extra gigantic and somehow magical bean-bag frisbee managed to block ALL of my bullets I shot at your pumpkin?!?! Fine! Fine! I am drawing a nuke! Take THAT, web-shooter! Can't block that? Then The Pumpkin Game is over!
