(one's) game
One's agenda, plan, or ulterior motive. I can't figure out why Janet is suddenly volunteering for the position she said she would never do. What's her game? Ah, so that's their game: buy up all the competition and then raise prices however high they want. What's your game, Susan? Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?
