Curtail a game (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abridge

'curtail' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a game' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'bridge' (card game).
'a'+'bridge'='ABRIDGE'

(Other definitions for abridge that I've seen before include "Make shorter in brigade" , "Shorten (eg, text)" , "Big read (anag) - shorten text" , "Shorten by using fewer words" , "Concentrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
