North American country releases date for street game (7)
I believe the answer is:
canasta
'game' is the definition.
(I know that Canasta is a type of game)
'north american country releases date for street' is the wordplay.
'north american country' becomes 'canada' (country in North America).
'releases' is a deletion indicator.
'date' becomes 'AD' (AD is an example).
'for street' becomes 'sta' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'canada' with 'ad' taken away is 'cana'.
'cana'+'sta'='CANASTA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canasta that I've seen before include "Card-game played with two packs of cards" , "Card game -- as an act (anag)" , "Form of rummy using two decks of cards and four jokers" , "Game played with two packs of cards and jokers" , "Card-game, a form of rummy" .)
