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 Project KE (Anime Club). 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 Project KE (Anime Club) 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 658 reviews accumulated over the shop's tenure, Project KE (Anime Club) sits in the top tier of visibility for the New York TCG scene. Stores at this scale typically support multi-game event schedules and keep broad inventory across Standard-legal sets.
Project KE (Anime Club) occupies a storefront at 36-12 Main St #1FL. 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.
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.
First-time visit tip: browse singles first, ask staff about the most recent event turnout, and you'll have a sense within twenty minutes of whether the shop fits your play style.

Yes. As a Wizards Play Network-sanctioned store, this location runs FNM events. Check the shop's event calendar or call ahead to confirm this week's FNM format (Draft, Standard, Commander, Modern, etc.).
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 Project KE (Anime Club) 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 Project KE (Anime Club) 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.
