Playstrategy should add some hidden information games games like stratego or fog of war chess.
Hidden Information Games
Banqi will be the best choice.

This game could attract a huge number of new players to the site.
@Mando
A problem with Stratego is permission from the license holders. Fog of war might be possible. Don't know if playstrategy will do it tho, since they also have a lot of bugs and features to fix/add for other variants.
@Pokshtya, agreed. Banqi is a very interesting and fun game.
Also Luzhanqi.

@Jisu101
do you know who owns rights to stratego?
@Mando And Jeiqi is awesome too.

Why do players like games with incomplete information? Because such games do not allow one to constantly dominate over the other.
Such games equalize the chances of the parties and make the entire game process unpredictable. This is what the players need.
Games with incomplete information eliminate the constant fear of losing and introduce healthy excitement and intrigue.
What are you doing, owners of this platform? Implement games like these, not games that have already been solved by AI.
Only such games with incomplete information can attract players and make the gaming platform popular.
I offered you a year or two ago to add my Grand Dice Chess to your site. You queued it up.
Look at goldtoken.com The game is thriving, attracting more and more new players, and this despite the fact that it is considered a premium game there. That is, a mere mortal can only play a certain number of games per month.
If you had added my Grand Dice Chess a year ago, there would be at least a thousand players online every day on your site.
But it’s true, it’s better to add the 5x5 Breakthrough, which has already been solved a long time ago, and wait for the players to start playing en masse on playstrategies.org
I had not heard of Jeiqi before, but it looks like an interesting game. Is it a modern invention?
@Mando Yes it's a modern invention. And very very popular.
In 2011, the first tournament in this variant of Chinese chess was held in Hong Kong. More than 60 people took part in it. The game quickly spread throughout southern China and then moved to Vietnam, where it gained popular love. In 2016, the Chinese Chess Association included Jieqi in the list of mind sports and student interest in chess.
You can find many apps of this game on the Internet.
Names may vary - Mystery Chinese Chess, Dark Chinese Chess (not to be confused with Banqi), Cờ Úp and so on.
