What to expect at The Green Dragon Inn

Games at this shop
Below are the trading card games we've identified as supported at this shop, each with context about how that game plays and what to look for when you visit.
We haven't yet verified the specific trading card games stocked at The Green Dragon Inn. Most general-purpose game and hobby shops in the US carry at least one of the major three — Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, and Yu-Gi-Oh! — plus a rotating selection of whichever newer TCGs have local community traction (Disney Lorcana and One Piece TCG are the most commonly-added in 2026).
If you're planning a visit, call The Green Dragon Inn directly to confirm current inventory. A 30-second call saves the trip if the shop doesn't carry what you're looking for. Ask specifically about:
- Sealed product: booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, starter decks, prerelease kits for the current set release window.
- Singles: individually-priced cards sold by set or by Standard/Commander archetype — the fastest way to finish a deck.
- Event schedule: weekly Friday Night Magic, Pokémon League, Yu-Gi-Oh! Locals, or whatever formats are currently running.
- Buylist / trade-in rates: whether the shop buys cards, in what condition, and at what percentage of market value for cash vs. store credit.
Local context
With 458 reviews, The Green Dragon Inn is a known quantity in the Akron card scene — not the biggest shop in town, but enough community weight that the staff will recognize returning players by name within a few visits.
At 115 E Market St, the shop operates as a standalone independent — character-full spaces where the staff's taste shows through the inventory curation.
The shop maintains evening hours — advantageous for after-work players wanting to run 8pm Commander pods or late Friday Night Magic events without rushing from the office.
Plan a visit with confidence — the community vetting here is strong. Bring a deck, ask about upcoming events, and expect to leave having met at least one person you might play with again.

You can reach the shop by phone at (234) 231-1534. For questions about event schedules, inventory availability, or grading services, a quick call usually gets the most accurate answer.
Yes — their website is http://greendragoninn.com/. Most shop websites publish an event calendar, singles inventory search, and buylist rates. Check their site before visiting to confirm details.
Most LGS stores operate a buylist — you bring your collection in, staff appraises the cards, and you leave with cash or store credit. Store credit typically pays 20-40% above the cash rate. Contact The Green Dragon Inn ahead of time for a bulk-collection appointment.
Grading drop-off is a value-add service: bulk submissions cut per-card fees ~30-50%. Ask whether The Green Dragon Inn runs monthly submissions and how turnaround times compare to direct-to-grader mail-in.
Play space is foundational for an LGS — expect tables, sleeving supplies, and timer setups. Availability varies: Fridays and Saturdays are packed with tournament play; weekday mornings are quiet for casual pod games.
Family-friendliness is the norm at TCG stores. Pokémon League keeps the environment kid-appropriate, and Junior-division events separate younger competitors for fair matchups.
Parking in Akron varies by neighborhood. Strip-mall locations usually include free adjacent lots; downtown and urban-core shops may require street parking or a paid garage. Refer to the map on this page for precise address and nearby options.
