The players are associate salesgnomes at Lord Oscacomp's Adventuring Outfitters and Item Emporium (or, as it's more commonly known, Oscacomp's Item Shop). You have three jobs: sell, sell, sell!
On your turn, play an adjective from your hand to the left of the other cards in play. It has to be a higher rank than the leftmost card (this keeps things in grammatical order). Then read aloud the entire item description. This is very important.
If you don't have a card of higher rank, you might be able to play one of your special cards instead. The AND card lets you play a second adjective of the same rank as one already on the board; the CARET lets you insert an adjective between two ranks, and the F-BOMB, well, you can play that one anywhere.
If you can't play at all, the round is over. The last person who played a card wins the round and gets 1 point per adjective in play. First person to 20 Osca-bucks wins.
