We haven't yet verified the specific trading card games stocked at EightyOne Arcade Bar. 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 EightyOne Arcade Bar 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 382 reviews, EightyOne Arcade Bar is a known quantity in the Sioux Falls 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.
EightyOne Arcade Bar occupies a storefront at 221 S Phillips Ave. Street-level independent shops like this often develop tighter community relationships than chain-plaza counterparts — a signal to look for if you want an LGS that knows its players.
Hours run earlier here than at late-night shops — plan weekend afternoon visits for the easiest time to catch open tables and staff attention.
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.
