After consulting chess masters, mathematicians, and hiring a wood worker, Denoual partnered with Julien Mayot to bring the wooden strategy game to market. Julien loaded an old Jeep with 1,000 games and embarked upon a three-month, 22,000 mile road trip across the United States, which resulted in visits to hundreds of stores and great sales.
