Morphology
The meaning 'a game played outside' is directly and compositionally derived from 'outdoor' (related to outside) + 'game' (a recreational contest). This adjective+noun pattern is a basic, cross-linguistically common composition in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Outdoor game gives a simple picture: a game played outdoor, out in the open air instead of inside a room or building. So it means 'a game played outside'.
