I believe the answer is:

bridge

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

'game' is the definition.
(card game)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for bridge that I've seen before include "Pontoon is one" , "One on the fiddle" , "pontoon, perhaps" , "spanner" , "Card game - pontoon - couple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
