Play game on board (7)
I believe the answer is:
othello
This could be a double definition.
'play' is the first definition.
(play by William Shakespeare)
'game on board' is the second definition.
'othello' can be an answer for 'game' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'on board' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for othello that I've seen before include "game with counters" , "Shakespeare's tragic Moor of Venice" , "drama!" , "Shakespeare tragedy" , "board game" .)
