Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derivable from the parts: 'game' (a recreational contest) + 'two' (the number) + 'touch' (physical contact) yields a game in which two touches are the relevant rule. This numeric + action construction is a common and transparent pattern (often expressed as 'two‑touch' or 'two touch') so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The noun game of two touch comes from a simple form of football called two touch, where a player is 'tackled' after two light touches. That's why the phrase means a casual football game with less contact.
