Cured meat at the end of second game (10)
I believe the answer is:
backgammon
'game' is the definition.
(backgammon is a kind of game)
'cured meat at the end of second' is the wordplay.
'cured meat' becomes 'gammon' (gammon is a kind of meat. I am not sure about the 'cured' bit.).
'at the end of' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go at the end of others).
'second' becomes 'back' (to second a motion is to back it).
'gammon' after 'back' is 'BACKGAMMON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for backgammon that I've seen before include "Dicey business" , "dicey contest" , "Board game played with dice" , "sedentary activity" , "Players' race to clear tables" .)
