Board game is cheaper version (9)
I believe the answer is:
parcheesi
'board game' is the definition.
(Parcheesi is an example)
'is cheaper version' is the wordplay.
'version' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'cheaper'='ischeaper'
'ischeaper' anagrammed gives 'PARCHEESI'.
(Another definition for parcheesi that I've seen is " game".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
