Hi all - chess.com newbie here. I’ve seen references to a whole bunch of different games on chess.com (crazyhouse, bughouse, king of the hill, etc) that I’ve never heard of before. Would anyone be willing to explain what the different games are and what you do/don’t like about each?

Sorry if this question is repetitive of ones found elsewhere - if so, and you’d rather just let me know where to find this info - a link would be very helpful!

Many thanks in advance.
