Going by the picture it looks like that is the problem. If you look closely and follow it, it's part of a circuit. With the crack the circuit is open and will affect anything else connected to it. It will not be able to function as before. That is as far as my technical knowledge goes, I don't know what is the purpose of that circuit.
You can with an exacto knife scrape gently a good part of the clear green coat on both sides of the crack. You have to expose the copper and make sure it doesn't get scrapped off. Make sure both sides of the cracks are flat and even. Solder across the crack connecting both sides together. When this is done use a continuity tester on the exposed copper on both sides of the fixed crack to find out if the crack has been fixed. This should resolve your problem. If the PCB game board is double layered then more work might be needed. I hope this helps.
Please keep this in mind. Any advice followed is done at your risk.
