Game in which the present holders are eliminated (4,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pass the parcel

'game' is the definition.
(I know that Pass the parcel is a party game)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for pass the parcel that I've seen is " Children's party game".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
