Crossword Genius

Card games dull from start to finish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ombres

'card games' is the definition.
(ombre is a card game)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for ombres that I've seen is " Solo players".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
