Which games count as card games?

Games whose Steam players voted "Card Game" as one of their defining tags: among the game's five most-voted tags, with at least half as many votes as the top one. A game that merely has a few Card Game votes does not count, which keeps the list to games that are card games, not games with a Card Game moment in them.
