Played pool or another game (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polo

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

'another game' is the definition.
'polo' can be an answer for 'game' (polo is a kind of game). I am not sure about the 'another' bit.

'played pool' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram.
'pool' with letters rearranged gives 'POLO'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for polo that I've seen before include "Game played on horses or in water" , "Ball game played on horseback" , "In which horsemen attack and defend" , "Game; Venetian explorer" , "Top" .)
