Quiet game (5)

I believe the answer is:

whist

I believe this is a double definition.

'quiet' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'game' is the second definition.
(whist is a kind of game)

(Other definitions for whist that I've seen before include "Trick-taking card game" , "Demand silence" , "Card-game" , "Card game for four" , "Popular card game, sometimes solo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
