Question

so far I've played Go, Shogi, Renju(Gomoku), of course chinese Checkers

Answer 1

Mankala, Xiangi, (Go Stop), Badok there are many but spelling is diverse as China will spell things one way and Japan and Korea another. There are games I'm familiar with but don't know how to explain. There was a card game yahoo had for a while--Go Stop that wasn't a board game but a card game but I don't think it is accessable anymore. I have a pack of those cards as well as the Chinese Chess and Go games but a couple I have forgotten how to play and it is hard to find people to refresh my memory.
