Small games that are bundled with a copy of Microsoft Windows, often involving cards or boards.
They usually start out as part of a separate enhancement/game pack (e.g. the Windows Entertainment Packs) or - more recently - as a free downloadable app, then get "promoted" as time goes by. For the purposes of this category, games are sorted by the OS they were first bundled with.
