"In the past few years, the game-along with other retro favorites such as bowling shirts, TV dinners and kitten heels-has made a comeback among a younger, hipper crowd. It's even become a craze in London, winning fans including Sting and the guys from Radiohead, and making bridge clubs the place to be."
