At the start of the game, each player takes one of his pieces, but not the king off the board. Each turn, a player may either make a normal legal move, or he may switch the piece `in reserve' with one of his pieces on the board, but not the king. That other piece now becomes `in reserve' and may be switched on a later turn. Switching can be done as often as one wants, but one never can switch with the king, and cannot switch when in check (as switching cannot relieve check).
