I believe the answer is:

bingo

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

'no big game?' is the definition.
'bingo' can be an answer for 'game?' (bingo is a game). I am not certain of the 'no big' bit.

'no big game?' is the wordplay.
'game?' indicates an anagram (a game or puzzle of the letters).
'no'+'big'='nobig'
'nobig' anagrammed gives 'BINGO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bingo that I've seen before include "Game of chance" , "House!" , "Game in which "two little ducks" might be called" , "game requiring little ability" , "Number game" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
