'conception' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of one game somewhat modified' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'somewhat' means to remove the last letter (some but not all of the word).
'modified' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'game'='igame'
'igame' with its last letter taken off is 'igam'.
'igam' with letters rearranged gives 'imag'.
'imag'+'e'='IMAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?
