drafts

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

'makes an outline' is the definition.
'drafts' can be an answer for 'makes' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'an outline' bit.

'a game we hear' is the wordplay.
'a game' becomes 'draughts' (draughts is a kind of game).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'draughts' is a homophone of 'DRAFTS'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drafts that I've seen before include "First written versions or money orders" , "Rough preliminary written versions" , "Preliminary outlines" , "Rough outline texts" , "Preliminary sketches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
