Game from oil era, it’s newly ordered (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solitaire

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

'oil era it's newly ordered' is the wordplay.
'newly ordered' indicates anagramming the letters (in a new order).
'oil'+'era'+'its'='oileraits'
'oileraits' is an anagram of 'SOLITAIRE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for solitaire that I've seen before include "Board game played by one person" , "Diamond; game for one" , "Patience game" , "recluse" , "Game for one person - single gem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
