I believe the answer is:

litigable

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

'inclined to trap game inviting legal action' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'inclined to trap game' is the wordplay.
'inclined' becomes 'liable' (I've seen this before).
'to trap' is an insertion indicator.
'game' becomes 'tig' (playground game).
'liable' placed around 'tig' is 'LITIGABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for litigable that I've seen is " resulting in legal case, possibly".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
