English term or phrase: a game all
It's from "Angel Pavement"

They were a game all in this rubber, so Miss Verever struggled up to Three Hearts, but her oponents went Three No Trumps, got them, won the rubber, and put her down eight hundred points.

Thank you in advance!

English translation:each side has won one game
Explanation:
The score so far in this rubber is one game to each side - so, as Kim says, it is still a completely open question who is going to win the rubber.
