No, the word "game" has a long 'a' sound in it.
According to Wikipedia, "mat" has a short 'a' sound, and "mate" has a long 'a' sound. Since "game" is pronounced similar to "mate" (as far as the 'a' is concerned), I would assume that the 'a' sound in game is considered long.
Next time, I would word your question differently.
