Annoyance as card game curtailed (5)
I believe the answer is:
pique
'annoyance' is the definition.
(pique is a kind of annoyance)
'card game curtailed' is the wordplay.
'card game' becomes 'piquet' (piquet is a kind of card game).
'curtailed' means to remove the last letter.
'piquet' with its final letter removed is 'PIQUE'.
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for pique that I've seen before include "Hurt feelings" , "Offence taken" , "Needle" , "Resentment; hurt pride" , "Equip (anag.)" .)
