    the game will replace the traditional poker night as a venue for American adults to socialise.

Probably! I've never played myself, but i see it being more and more common around me. Game nights in general too.

    Jane Douglas has called it “improv theatre for nerds”.

But is Improv not already considered nerdy?

I love seeing how subcultures intersect, sometimes in surprising ways :) Or maybe it's just that the people around me have their toes dipped in many subcultures at once - it's hard to tell.
