Playing the game means, to me, working your way through life with honour and honesty. People know you as a person of your word and so on. So how do your characters do this and do they play the game "well"?
What obstacles get in the way? How do they handle those who won't play the game well and who are happy to lie/cheat/trample all over everyone else in life?
Do you have a character who could be described as the referee and whose judgement is final? Do they act justly and play the game well?
At the end of your story, what is the result? Have the cheaters prospered or have the characters who played the game well got their reward and won?
