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

'game' is the definition.
(card game)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "Pile (on e.g. velvet)" , "One likely to win" , "A daytime doze" , "Take forty winks" , "A brief snooze" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
