What if the person who invented chess forgot something wondered Martin Maheux, owner of Laurier Lounge and former chef?
This idea so captivated Maheux that he began to devise a change (or amelioration) to the venerable game of chess - adding a flagbearer and dragon (two additions which came to him in a dream).
At the international launch of his game, Crusade and Conquer, guests dined on Laurier Lounge fare, sipped wine and played the competitive, exciting game while a video featuring Maheux played on huge HDTVs throughout the historic home.
