The story is read to you like a choose your own adventure novel. What you encounter is determined by a deck of 'encounters' you choose before starting the adventure. Your rewards on each adventure are determined by the cards you selected before the adventure. You have a limited of turns based on your food. When you do arrive in combat, it becomes an Arkham style beat em up with the special equipment you found over the course of the adventure. There is also some encounters that are determined by chance or a game of three card monte. After you finish, you unlock new cards based on your performance that you can swap into your deck for the next adventure.

Will the second game teach me how to play or do I need to play the first one to do that?

It's a pretty easy concept, I don't know about the 2nd one, but it's intuitive and worth a play. Apparently the sequel improves on the mechanic, I'm almost done with the first

You can start on the second if you want. It's not really a linear story driven game. I'm not even sure that that the protagonist is the same in both games. The Dealer is the same, but he's some sort of psychopomp 'guider-of-souls' type, so it's not really hard to grasp the story. As for gameplay, both games have basically a tutorial chapter to show you the ropes. It's pretty intuitive either way.
