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

'traps laid for' is the definition.
'snares' can be an answer for 'traps' ('snare' can be a synonym of 'trap'). I am not certain of the 'laid for' bit.

'tin god' is the wordplay.
'tin' becomes 'Sn' (Sn is the chemical symbol for tin).
'god' becomes 'ares' (Greek god of war).
'sn'+'ares'='SNARES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snares that I've seen before include "Traps for catching birds or animals" , "Game traps" , "Traps, enmeshes" , "Lures or entanglements" , "Traps set by Nasser" .)
