About the game
What you do in a play session
Bughouse Chess is a wild, fast-paced twist on traditional chess, designed for four players across two boards. You team up in pairs against another duo, with a brilliant catch: every captured piece goes to your teammate, who can drop it onto their own board as reinforcement! Picture the chaos of suddenly getting a rook mid-game. Using chess clocks (typically 5 minutes per player), you’ll need to strategize *and* act fast. The first team to get checkmated or run out of time loses—ending both games simultaneously. It’s chaotic, tactical, and addictive, perfect for chess lovers craving something more social and unpredictable.
