Rotary is a chess-like game with rotating pieces. The objective, as in chess, is to checkmate the enemy king.

Each type of piece can move in a specific combination of the eight compass directions. What makes Rotary unique that is all pieces (except pawns) can rotate to face in new directions. For instance, the Rook starts out facing west, north, and east. It could be rotated to face northwest, northeast, and southeast (or any of the eight possible orientations). No piece can move in all eight directions, so all pieces are vulnerable to attack from somewhere.
