Mere game? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pool

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'game' is the second definition.
(I know that pool is a type of table game)

(Other definitions for pool that I've seen before include "Lido - kitty - ball game" , "Kitty; a billiard game" , "found in watery location" , "game indoors" , "American game like snooker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
