Play or played?

Did you win when we play/played poker last night?

I think it's "play", but would really appreciate it if someone can tell me which one is correct and then explain it. Thank you

Edit: I think "play" because "did" established it a past tense.

  • The 'did' just relates to 'win'.
  • Not to the verb in the subordinate clause.
