So.... How does that work exactly?
It can be a bit of a hard concept to get if you're not used to it. I'll give an example of one. Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands.

The premise is there's three factions fighting for control over a planet that's recently become valuable territory and you're playing mech pilots responsible for fighting this war. To play the game, take turns picking a game type: an animated discussion, a chase, a conversation over food, a dance, a free-for-all, meeting sword to sword, stealing time together, and a tactical skirmish. Each of the games has various rules for playing it out, including who gets to set the scene, who's involved in the scene, a few things on how to resolve outcomes, and how to end the scene. And you just take turns picking games to play until it gets to a point where it seems like the session has finished.
