Seek a game to play with a fork (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

look for

'seek' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a game to play with a fork' is the wordplay.
'a game' becomes 'loo' (historical card game).
'to play with' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'plays with' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'fork' with letters rearranged gives 'kfor'.
'loo'+'kfor'='LOOK FOR'

(Another definition for look for that I've seen is " search".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
