Game of cards (5)
I believe the answer is:
jacks
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'game' is the first definition.
(jacks is a kind of game)
'cards' is the second definition.
(jack is a kind of card)
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for jacks that I've seen before include "Small bowls" , "salts" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
