Game in which loser first to take lead? (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
russian roulette
'game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for russian roulette that I've seen before include "Deadly gamble" , "deadly stunt" , "chancy business" , "Dangerous game of chance" , "suicidal undertaking" .)
