Strange, my game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rummy

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

'strange my' is the wordplay.
'strange' becomes 'rum' (synonyms).
'rum'+'my'='RUMMY'

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

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express, The Mirror and The Sun.
