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

'game' is the definition.
(I know that bowls is a type of bowling)

(Other definitions for bowls that I've seen before include "Game; vessels" , "Kitchen pots for storing" , "Rolls smoothly along the ground" , "Lawn game" , "woods" .)

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