Plot or scheme (11)

I believe the answer is:

machination

I believe this is a double definition.

'plot' is the first definition.
(I know that machination is a type of plot)

'scheme' is the second definition.
(I know that machination is a type of game)

(Another definition for machination that I've seen is " Plot".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
