Pronunciation

Noun

game plan (plural game plans)

  1. (idiomatic) Any strategy devised to reach a given objective.
    So what is the game plan? We need to get everyone out of this alive, and I am clueless.
    • 2016 February 7, Michael Barbaro, “Once Impervious, Marco Rubio Is Diminished by a Caustic Chris Christie”, in The New York Times:
      But as his rumpus with Mr. Christie entered its second and third rounds, Mr. Rubio appeared to abandon that game plan.
    • 2021 March 28, Phil McNulty, “Albania 0-2 England”, in BBC Sport:
      Southgate's decision to select two defensively-minded midfield men once more in Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips was another strong indicator that this will be his preferred formation at the Euros this summer.
      It is a game plan which has looked stodgy on occasions, particularly in two Uefa Nations League games against Denmark, a goalless draw in Copenhagen and a defeat at Wembley, and leaves Southgate open to accusations of over-caution.
