Rude attention-seeker in game? (5)
I believe the answer is:
poker
'game?' is the definition.
(poker game is a kind of game)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poker that I've seen before include "Gambling card game" , "Epitome of stiffness" , "Fireside implement - card game" , "Rod liable to become heated" , "Jabber" .)
