It's a cooperative game that you can choose to play competitively — and I've certainly heard it argued that it's more enjoyable as a game to play it competitively (though I disagree).
Whoa. No, it is totally a competitive game. The player with the most points wins.
There's also an AI player that can win. Whether you prefer to let an actual player at the table win or the AI win when in a position where you'll lose either way...that's a judgement call.
You can choose to play it as a pure co-op if you want...but based on my one experience playing that way, it's unbelievably lousy as such.
