blind mans buff

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

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

'obscure player has expert' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'player' could be 'man' and 'man' is found in the answer.
'expert' could be 'buff' (I've seen this before) and 'buff' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'blinds' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blind mans buff that I've seen before include "Game where catcher can't see" , "Children's party game" , "Traditional children''s game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
