punctuation - Can "A game a few would play" be a valid structure?

This is a line in a "poem", but I have changed two words to "game" and "play" with preserving the sentence exact structure.

Indeed, a game a few would play.

I have searched for this structure which would be (if it is written in general): [noun] + [quantifier] + [verb]. But found nothing similar.

Also, I want to know if it should take a certain punctuation mark between the noun and the quantifier. I think it may be a period as it appeared that there's no structure like that. However, it is only a small pause between the two.

Answer

"Indeed, a game a few would play" sounds fine.

Remember that "a few" means a small, but noteworthy number, sometimes representing an undetermined number from a larger group.

"Few", without the indefinite article, is used to mean scarcely any.

  "A game a few would play" then means that a small number of people would play it.

  "A game few would play" would mean a game that not many people engaged in.

  
  

As written, I would not insert any pauses other than the comma after "indeed".
