Two Shops, Five Thousand Reviews
Two Bellevue shops are listed here, carrying more than 5,000 reviews between them — and 5,029 of those belong to one store. Mox Boarding House on Bel-Red Road is not really a card shop in the ordinary sense: it is part restaurant, part game hall, part retail floor, and it anchors the entire Eastside TCG scene.
The tournament room runs weekly Magic, regular Pokémon events and Warhammer nights, with a calendar posted online so you can plan around a draft. The kitchen runs a full New American menu, which means you can get a proper dinner between rounds instead of the usual gas-station-snack routine. Hours run to midnight on Friday and Saturday.
The other half of Bellevue is Mighty Moose Comics down in Factoria — an owner-operated neighbourhood shop pairing new and back-issue comics with Pokémon and Magic singles. Same 4.6 rating, thirty reviews, and a completely different reason to visit.

Mox Boarding House at 13310 Bel-Red Road carries over 5,000 reviews. For context, that is more than every shop in this directory's top twenty cities combined in several cases, and it tells you this is not primarily a card shop — it is a destination.
The building pairs Art Deco styling with a full-service restaurant, a retail floor stacked with games, and a tournament room that keeps the Eastside busy nearly every night. Retail covers the latest Pokémon sets, Magic singles and sealed, D&D books, miniatures, and a wall of board games one visitor compared to a wand shop.
Events are the real separator: weekly Magic, regular Pokémon events, Warhammer nights, with the calendar posted online so you can plan a visit around a draft or a commander night. And because the kitchen runs a full menu, long event nights do not mean surviving on vending machines.
Hours run late for a game store — 11AM to 10PM Monday to Thursday, midnight Friday, 10AM to midnight Saturday, 10AM to 10PM Sunday. Weekend evenings get busy with diners and players both, so arrive early if you want a table.
Mighty Moose Comics at 4015 Factoria Boulevard SE sits in the Marketplace at Factoria on Bellevue's south end, and it holds exactly the same 4.6 rating as Mox — on thirty reviews rather than five thousand.
Worth flagging, because this page's own summary names Mox as the highest-rated shop. It is not higher-rated; the tie is broken by review count. Mighty Moose is just as well regarded by the people who go there.
It is owner-operated, splitting the floor between deep runs of new and back-issue comics and a card selection built around Pokémon and Magic. The stock rotates enough to reward regular visits. What comes up in every review is the owner — greeting people, tracking down back issues, flipping through Pokémon singles with a younger collector. That welcome-first attitude has made it a favourite for families introducing kids to collecting.
Comic storage supplies double as card supplies, so sleeves, boards and boxes are always on hand. Open 10:30AM to 8PM Monday to Saturday, 11AM to 6PM Sunday, with mall parking outside — an easy detour off I-90 or I-405 without braving downtown.
Bellevue has one card show on the calendar: the Maximum Card Show — MEGA Bellevue, running 19–20 December at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. A hotel-ballroom show over a weekend is the standard format for a metro this size and worth planning around if you are buying or selling.
Beyond that, Bellevue is part of the Seattle metro and there is no reason to treat it in isolation. Seattle is a far deeper market with a busy events calendar, including the Seattle Pokémon Regional Championships at the Seattle Convention Center in February — and the regional vendor hall alone is worth the trip whether or not you compete.
Closer in, Kent, Renton and Tacoma all carry listings. Our card shows guide covers what to expect from a regional, and the Washington events calendar lists everything scheduled statewide.
