I don't think it is necessarily so bad if a card game would have the generic 
name "card game". Maybe someone wants to list all card games?
If it is made more specific than "card game" you probably have to use
really the game's name like "poker" but you will mainly just have one
application per category then (except tetris or so ;-))

But it all depends what the final aim of the generic name shall be and
whether this can be applied to the games at all.
