Michael Hemsworth — September 7, 2020 — Life-Stages
The Hermes Helios Mahjong Set is an opulent version of the popular board game that will provide high-fashion aficionados with a way to show off their process for the pastime.
The game is constructed with rosewood and leather components, and looks more like a high-end piece of decor than a board game. The 144 tiles in the set are crafted from printed Swift calfskin and are stored in the accompanying case to showing off or storage between plays.
The Hermes Helios Mahjong Set is completely functional and ready for play, but is priced at a whopping $41,100 which could position it as more of a high-end piece of statement decor in a living space instead of a board game.
