Ideas for some multiplayer games we could implement for FujiNet!
These are two player games where, I imagine, a server would maintain the state of many games, including multiple games for an individual user. There would be no time limit for a player to make their move (like there is with 5-Card Stud).
Once a move is made, the opponent would see this the next time they launch the app. Each user could be maintaining multiple games against multiple other opponents, or even multile games against the same opponent.

A tafl game. The traditional is played on an 11x11 board with two players -- one offence, the other defence -- taking turns.

(Idea from Bill K. h/t Tibet Nepal in Davis, CA, which had a game out on display decades ago.)
The game is played on a 5x5 point grid, with pieces placed at the intersections. Gameplay takes place in two phases: first, the goats are placed on the board while the tigers are moved; then, goats and tigers both move. The tigers' objective is to capture (jump over, a la Checkers/Draughts) five goats; the goats win by blocking all the tigers' legal moves.
