Cheat to get point in game (8)
I believe the answer is:
cribbage
'game' is the definition.
(cribbage is a card game)
'cheat to get point' is the wordplay.
'cheat' becomes 'crib' (cribbing is a kind of cheating).
'to get' becomes 'bag' (bag can mean to secure or obtain).
'point' becomes 'E' (compass point).
'crib'+'bag'+'e'='CRIBBAGE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for cribbage that I've seen before include "Card game with a winning score of 121" , "activity for couple sitting at table" , "Card game for two to four players" , "Card-game" , "Card game scored with pegs" .)
