Such games will never be played out (6)
I believe the answer is:
indoor
'out' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indoor that I've seen before include "not alfresco" , "These sports are roofed" , "Situated under cover" , "Practised inside" , "away from the other elements" .)
