The Asian board games you grew up with

Most board game apps stop at Chess and Ludo. This one also brings the games played on kitchen tables, school desks and New Year floors across Asia: Chinese Chess and Japanese Shogi, Gomoku, the Animal Chess every child in China knows, the bluffing battles of Army Chess, the Flying Chess race, and Korea's Yutnori.

They are hard to find in one place, and harder to find with an opponent who knows the rules. Here each one has a computer player that does, and it plays without an internet connection.
