The source's requirement for a game to be classes as non-violent are:
No title where you are required or encouraged to harm or kill another living entity.
No title with graphic or realistic depictions of violence.
We have also counted cartoon violence, e.g. Mario Party mini-games that involve knocking out the other players or Party Animals hurling each other off levels.
Games around contact sports are considered violent.
Reference to unseen violent acts, e.g. a game where you are solving a previous murder, does not count as violent.
Minimalist depictions or representations of conflict, e.g. a Hearthstone-style card game, do not count as violent.
Games in which you give direct orders that lead to violence, e.g. strategy titles or turn-based RPGs, are considered violent.
