I believe the answer is:

table tennis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game' is the definition.
(table tennis is a kind of game)

'boards divided by net in artful' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'net' is 'ten' which is present in the answer.
'artful' could be 'able' and 'able' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for table tennis that I've seen before include "Ping pong" , "sport" , "Ping-pong" , "Indoor game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
