RULES:
The game is played on a 10 by 8 board. The usual setup of chess pieces is extended with two pawns and two januses per player. Each janus is placed between a rook and a knight. The relative position of the king and queen is also reversed. The janus moves like a bishop and a knight. You castle like normal by moving the king adjacent to either rook, then that rook to the other side of the king. The first player to checkmate their opponent, wins!
