Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop roleplaying game. You have one person, the Dungeon Master, who acts as a narrator and controls the characters that the players interact with, wether they be friend or foe. It's also their job to keep the story moving forward, and balance interactions with enemies so that things aren't too easy or too difficult. Actions and the effectiveness of those actions are decided by the roll of different dice. Some dice have 4 sides, some have 20, some have 8... there's a lot of them. You can roll to see who goes first in a fight, see if you land a blow, how much damage that blow will deal on your target, the effectiveness of spells you cast, and even if you convince a character of something or not. Each player has a character that represents them. You can go buck wild with these, but typically people play as elves, dwarves, humans, halflings, and all sorts of other creatures. They have all sorts of funky weapons and spells that you can equip your character with. That's a really really simplified version of it, but that's the gist.
