Community BYO Board Game Night at the Summit of Mount A
Thursday nights in June and July – first: June 4, last: July 30
Drop in, 6 PM – sunset
Unplug and spend the evening at the Mount A Lodge. Dice Before Dark is a relaxed, drop-in game night where visitors of all ages can gather around the table to play board games, card games, and more.
Bring a favorite game to share, learn something new from a neighbor, or choose from our collection. Whether you come with family, friends, or on your own, you’re invited to slow down, enjoy some analog fun, and connect with others before the sun sets over the summit.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. Free with park admission. Donations are appreciated.
“Last call” will typically be just before 8:30 PM for those who want to head outside to enjoy the sunset. Sunset time varies, but we do ask that folks plan to leave the summit by 9 PM at the latest so our Park Rangers can close the gate. We’ll have sunset time posted at the door!
Please note: the summit Lodge is not wheelchair accessible. Easier access for individuals who can use stairs but have mobility concerns is from the back deck (stairs on the eastern side of the building). Any participant is welcome to enjoy a game outside on the grass or at one of the accessible picnic tables at the summit! Please reach out to [email protected] to coordinate or reserve a game or table. You may also call the office phone (207) 361-1102 during the drop-in hours.
Watch for occasional themed nights highlighting a featured game with time to learn and play together!
We have a growing library of in-house and staff-loaned games and puzzles. Our current game list is available here.
If you’d like to donate a game, refreshments, or help us out with a themed night please e-mail Naomi!
