Not exactly. Both are intended as recreational devices. One attempts
to achieve that end is a pre-planned manner such that "fun" occurs in
largely pre-known ways by defining a known and well defined game
method and purpose. The other builds a set of thought-to-be
interesting mechanics, and then gives players free-reign with them to
see if they create amusing games within the mechanical interactions.
The key is that one pre-defines the game and the game mechanics, and
the other pre-defines only the game mechanics and leaves the
definition of the game to the players.
