Venetian pro's fit for game (9,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blindmans buff

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

'game' is the definition.
(blindman's buff is a kind of game)

'venetian pro's fit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fit' could be 'buff' and 'buff' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blindmans buff that I've seen before include "Children's game, a variation on catch or tag" , "Traditional children''s game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
