Leave game after three, we hear (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
go forth
'leave' is the definition.
(I know that leave can be written as go forth)
'game after three we hear' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'go' (go is a board game).
'after three' becomes 'fourth' (in fourth place).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fourth' is a homophone of 'forth'.
'go'+'forth'='GO FORTH'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
