Captain's place in game (6)
I believe the answer is:
bridge
I believe this is a double definition.
'captain's place' is the first definition.
(command area on a ship)
'game' is the second definition.
(bridge is a kind of game)
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for bridge that I've seen before include "Requirement for spectacles" , "English composer" , "Span or connect" , "Card game involving North, South, East and West" , "Card-game" .)
