GAME is correct. Way to go, Annalisa! And thanks to all who participated.

Line 1: Card game; Sporting game

Line 2: A game leg is a lame leg; Hunted animals are called “game”

Line 3: Game theory

Line 4: War games

that works much better than the “ace” i was stuck on, which doesn’t work for line 2 at all and only obscurely for line 3. thanks for the answer Annalisa!

i’m not too sure about my answer, but i’m stuck on it. i can’t think about a different answer till i get this one outta my head, so i figured i’d try to write two more lines to see if i’m right. if my hunch is correct, the next two lines should be true:

I’m where you can buy things so that you can build,
and teachers report to me when they aren’t thrilled.
