The Square Cards Geeklist

The name says it all: I'd like to list every game which uses square cards.
(by the way, I've searched around but could not find a similar list. Weird...)
I'm actually talking about cards, not cardbox tiles (altough I also mean square cards used as tiles).

Some people are putting tiles into this list. Shame, shame, shame.

Cards can be riffle shuffled to randomize the order.
Tiles can be tossed into a bag, shaken, stirred, and drawn from the bag one at a time to randomize them.

Your "card" definition seems to be related to what I suggested before...
What's your opinion on cards that are also tiles? Your definiton doesn't leave room for such things - you make it sound like something is either a card or a tile and cannot be both at once.
(Personally I think that "card" and "tile" are separate ideas, and something could be [1] one or [2] the other, or [3] both at once, or [4] neither! Examples: [1] Uno cards, [2] Scrabble tiles, [3] the square cards/tiles in the Atta Ants picture (No. 12 above), and [4] the cardiovascular system of a kitten)

Basically, I consider the parts in a vacuum assuming no knowledge of the game they come from. Consider dominoes (which have their own category). Sometimes they are played like cards, sometimes tiles, sometimes they're stacked upright in a row just to be tipped over. In fact, some people who shun cards and card games (usually for religious reasons) will still play domino games, even if the domino is effectively used as a card.
