What game is it?  Your chances are slim, since only a few
games work with Wine, but if you tell us we might have some advice.
Have you checked to see if it's listed in
http://appdb.winehq.org/ ?

As long as it's an Intel-based mac, you have a chance.

My guess is, given your noob status :-), you'd be better off
with the prebuilt, packaged, supported version of Wine at
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/
Give that a shot first...
