Game calling for much more than a stout heart (4)
I believe the answer is:
faro
'game' is the definition.
(faro is a kind of game)
'much more than a stout heart' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'much' could be 'far' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'far' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'o' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'calling for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for faro that I've seen before include "Atlantic port" , "Gambling game with card dealer and players" , "Portuguese, 22 [RESORT]" , "Algarve seaport" , "Card game - Portuguese resort" .)
