Title: Playing Crazyhouse OTB
ThreadText: # Playing Crazyhouse OTB
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-09-18)
  
  I was playing [Crazyhouse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazyhouse) online on [Lichess](https://en.lichess.org/) and I wondered how to play OTB, namely how to change the color of a captured piece.
  
  I came up with 2 methods.
  
  1. Exchange the captured piece for another of a separate chess set, picking the opposite color.
  2. Pieces are 2d cards, with the Black version of the piece on one side and White on the other.][3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75NjePOThCk)
  
  Does anyone know better methods?
