Cheat to secure point in street game? (8)
I believe the answer is:
cribbage
'street game?' is the definition.
(cribbage uses a scoreboard covered in 'streets')
'cheat to secure point' is the wordplay.
'cheat' becomes 'crib' (cribbing is a kind of cheating).
'to secure' becomes 'bag' (bag can mean to secure).
'point' becomes 'E' (compass point).
'crib'+'bag'+'e'='CRIBBAGE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cribbage that I've seen before include "Card-game" , "Card game for two to four players" , "activity for couple sitting at table" , "Card game with a winning score of 121" , "SPORT/GAME" .)
