Figures in a game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fives

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

'game' is the definition.
(fives is a kind of game)

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

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fives that I've seen before include "Game similar to squash" , "bunch capable of causing injury?" , "Indoor court game" , "Squash relative" , "Ball game" .)
