Mahjong craze reaches Pitt County

Mahjong is rising in popularity all over the country and now, it has sparked the creation of a new business in Greenville. Amelia Mahjong opened for business in Artisan's Decorative Accessories and Fine Gifts on Plaza Drive on Oct. 17 under the leadership of Claire Boyd and her partner Crystal Reavis. The two longtime friends have been playing the game for some time, building up a group of friends who gathered on a weekly basis to play the game which requires strategy and skill to match tiles that meet the parameters of each round in the game. "Our grandparents played bridge, our mothers played Bunco and we play Mahjong," Boyd said Friday. "We really just wanted to create a sense of community. We wanted people to be able to get together, to socialize and to enjoy themselves." Still, there's a big leap from being a fan of the game to opening a business to support the game. Amelia Mahjong's booth at Artisans is filled with playing frames, racks, tiles and a host of other accessories people can use to enhance their playing experience from sassy coffee mugs and cups to bags designed to hold the wooden racks needed for holding
