Crossword Genius

Odd sort of game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rummy

This clue is a double definition.

'odd' is the first definition.
(I know that odd can be written as rummy)

'sort of game' is the second definition.
(I know that rummy is a type of card game)

(Other definitions for rummy that I've seen before include "Peculiar - card game" , "Odd; card-game" , "Card game; strange; like a spirit" , "Gin perhaps?" , "Two-pack card game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
