Google is your friend -- "bughouse chess" should do it.
In short, it's a 4-player game, two pairs of partners, played simultaneously on two boards next to each other. You play one color, your partner plays the other. When you capture one of your opponents' pieces, your partner receives it with the option to place it on any unoccupied square in lieu of a standard move.
It's pretty fun; really the only chess variant I've enjoyed at all. It will wreck your "real" chess in a heartbeat, though -- you'll soon be thinking, "If I can get a knight to drop on that square, I'm in great shape!"

Then you'll have to start playing Shogi.
I have no idea what bughoues variant is, nor how to play it. Please give me the inside on how to play bughouse.
