Level pegging on board in game (6)
I believe the answer is:
sevens
'game' is the definition.
(I know that sevens is a type of card game)
'level pegging on board' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'level' could be 'even' (synonyms) and 'even' is present in the answer.
'on board' could be 'ss' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ss' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for sevens that I've seen before include "rugby competition" , "77" , "Form of Rugby Union" , "Numbers" , "cards!" .)
