Put off after clubs restrict game (6,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
chemin de fer
'game' is the definition.
(chemin de fer is a kind of game)
'put off after clubs restrict' is the wordplay.
'put off' becomes 'defer' ('defer' can be a synonym of 'put off').
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'restrict' becomes 'hemin' (**).
'c'+'hemin'='chemin'
'defer' after 'chemin' is 'CHEMIN-DE-FER'.
(Other definitions for chemin de fer that I've seen before include "Card game, gambling against the banker" , "proceeding along French lines" , "French railway" , "Variant of baccarat" , "Form of baccarat" .)
