Game of patience? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tie

'game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of patience?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'TIE' is hidden within 'patience'.

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Almost level" , "may make one hot under the collar" , "Neck-cloth" , "Lace" , "11 [KNOT]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
