Scratch game (8)
I believe the answer is:
scrabble
I believe this is a double definition.
'scratch' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'game' is the second definition.
(Scrabble is a board game)
(Other definitions for scrabble that I've seen before include "Root around" , "Popular word game played on a board" , "In which X=8 and Z=10" , "Word-forming game" , "Struggle to gain possession" .)
