Valuable old violin returned for local game (5)
I believe the answer is:
darts
'local game' is the definition.
'darts' can be an answer for 'game' (darts is a kind of game). I am unsure of the 'local' bit.
'valuable old violin returned' is the wordplay.
'valuable old violin' becomes 'strad' (I've seen this before).
'returned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'strad' backwards is 'DARTS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for darts that I've seen before include "Game with board and missiles" , "Traditional pub game" , "quick movements" , "Game in which missiles are thrown at target" , "Game with arrows and a board" .)
