"And yet, for a few years at the end of the 1970s, this ancient game became the hottest thing going in New York and Los Angeles nightclubs, every bit as popular as the hustle or the Harvey Wallbanger...Later that year, Hefner and real estate mogul Stan Herman opened PIPS, a restaurant, discotheque and backgammon club on Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive. It was a sensation, and backgammon was now firmly cemented as an elemental feature of big-city nightlife."
