Figures I spoil the games (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

images

'figures' is the definition.
(I know this)

'i spoil the games' is the wordplay.
'spoil' is an anagram indicator.
'games' with letters rearranged gives 'mages'.
'i'+'mages'='IMAGES'

(Other definitions for images that I've seen before include "Photos or likenesses" , "visions" , "Photos or representations" , "Reflections in mirrors" , "Pictures; metaphors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
