patience

This clue could be a double definition.

'game that shows self' is the first definition.

'restraint' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for patience that I've seen before include "Card game played by one person" , "Card game for one player" , "Game, tolerance of delay" , "there's no one else to play this game" , "Calm endurance as in card game for one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
