Kind turn cheat returned (4)
I believe the answer is:
good
'kind' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'turn cheat returned' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'cheat' becomes 'do'.
'returned' says the letters should be written backwards.
'do' written backwards gives 'od'.
'go'+'od'='GOOD'
(Other definitions for good that I've seen before include "benefit" , "Pious" , "and 22 Down and 14 Across: Christmas carol" , "Moral excellence" , "Of a high standard" .)
