In Mexico Bughouse is known as ESPARTACO like the Roman slave. Drop a pawn in 7th rank is not permited, but the rules can vary and nobody knows how it came to Mexico, but it is really delightful specially for young people, who considers it with so much excitement.
In Spain is called 'vicio' that mean vicious because when you start to play you can´t give up. If you need any other information about can look for me in ICC
In Australia we call it 'Transfer chess', or normally just 'Transfer'. Normally played with 5 minute time controls, no increment, and the team loses when either player loses. When a player is about to get mated they will wait until their time runs out, unless their partner's opponent has more time, in which case they will resign :) Table talk generally includes 'knight is mate' (meaning that player can give checkmate with a knight) or 'don't give him a knight!' (meaning if that player's opponent gets a knight, some kind of terrible disaster will happen), but suggestions of moves to play for your partner are frowned upon. Questions like 'Should I sac my queen for a pawn?' are also acceptable.
Great! The tandem chess rules were just the thing I was looking for :D
