A game of cards for a change (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

faro

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a game' is the definition.
(I know that Faro is a type of card game)

'cards for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a' can be anagrammed to 'FARO'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for faro that I've seen before include "Portuguese, 22 [RESORT]" , "City in Portugal's Algarve" , "Card game - Portuguese resort" , "Card game - Algarve port" , "Gambling game with card dealer and players" .)
