I believe the answer is:

mega

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

'played' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'wonderful game' is the wordplay.
'game' can be anagrammed to 'MEGA'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'was' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mega that I've seen before include "Fantastic!" , "Smashing" , "wicked" , "As brilliant" , "Great American" .)
