Trendy adult board game place in the USA (7)
I believe the answer is:
chicago
'game place in the usa' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'trendy adult board' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'chic' (I've seen this before).
'adult' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'board' becomes 'go' (go board is a kind of board).
'chic'+'a'+'go'='CHICAGO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chicago that I've seen before include "A windy place" , "Al Capone's city" , "A Windy City in Illinois" , "Windy City of USA" , "Illinois port" .)
