Dutch star transformed game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

darts

'game' is the definition.
(I know that darts is a type of board game)

'dutch star transformed' is the wordplay.
'dutch' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for Dutch).
'transformed' indicates an anagram.
'star' is an anagram of 'arts'.
'd'+'arts'='DARTS'

(Other definitions for darts that I've seen before include "Tears" , "Game in which missiles are thrown at target" , "Shoots" , "Traditional pub game" , "Game with arrows and a board" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
