Mimic's Market Cards & Games

Bloomfield's friendly local game store, pairing Pokemon and Magic singles with board games, miniatures, and a packed Liberty Avenue events calendar.

Set on Liberty Avenue in the middle of Bloomfield, Mimic's Market Cards & Games is a full-spectrum friendly local game store rather than a cards-only shop — and that breadth is the point. Trading card games share the floor with board games, war games, miniatures, dice, and puzzles, so a collector and a tabletop crowd can show up on the same night and both find their corner.

For card players, the draw is the mix of Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering singles and sealed product backed by a genuinely busy events schedule. Bloomfield's foot traffic keeps the place lively, and the long evening hours — open until nine most nights and ten on Fridays — make it one of the better after-dinner stops for Pokemon cards Pittsburgh players want to draft, trade, or grind a release weekend.

The space is built for hanging around. Table seating supports drafts, league nights, and pickup games, and the staff lean into the welcoming, no-gatekeeping reputation that earns FLGS shops their regulars. Newcomers asking how to start a game get the same attention as veterans chasing a specific single.

Weekend hours open late morning and run deep into the evening, so there's flexibility whether you want a quiet Sunday browse or a packed Friday night. As a Pittsburgh card shop that doubles as a community hub, Mimic's Market rewards collectors who like their hobby social.
