Lands on island with players - it's not a home game
I believe the answer is:
castaway
'not a home game' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'lands on island with players' is the wordplay.
'lands on island' becomes 'away' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'players' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before).
'away' put after 'cast' is 'CASTAWAY'.
'it's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for castaway that I've seen before include ""Captain Bligh"? - with 5d" , "One shipwrecked in an isolated place" , "Robinson Crusoe was one" , "Shipwreck survivor" , "Eg, Robinson Crusoe" .)
