Rules: Both kings must be in check simultaneously. Pawns are promoted when they reach one of the opponent's home rows.
Movement: Basically the same but you can do it in 3d. Pawns are a bit tricky. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_chess#Piece_movement.

Because the forum's font screws up the game board so much, we shall be using pictures! (Be sure to only show thumbnails, the picture is quite large.)



EDIT: It is a cube. 8x8x8. The light grey board is the "bottom", and the dark grey board is the "top".

You expect us to photoshop the pieces every time?

Yeah. It'd be much nastier if it was text. Also, you can use paint. Not photoshop! Just select the piece and Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V and drag it to where you want. If it's on another board, just use the color picker and then fill the square.

If I have to play this whole game by myself, I will be a sad, sad R0b0t1.

You stack up the boards people, c'mon D: I even linked to a page explaining the movement of the pieces.
