Games to Play
Open play is the name of the game at Green Mountain Game Days. A huge pile of games materialize as people arrive. Then everyone gets to either push their favorite or try something that sounds interesting as it hits the table.
Some games, however, do require some planning, because they’re exceptionally long or require preparation beforehand, like role-playing adventures. If you’ve got something that needs a little more planning than simple pickup play allows, let us know you’re going to run it, so we can list it here for all to know and see. You can also participate in the official forum conversation.

Directions
Please note that 171 York St, the address used in the map to the right, is a rough estimate. The grange hall is a white building on the left when coming from Route 5.Whichever way you’re coming from, you’re probably going to wind up taking Interstate 91 or Route 5 right to Lyndonville. From the nearest exit, it’s a short skip down Route 5 to the intersection with York Street.
Parking
There is parking for the grange directly across the street from the building.
Food and Drink
As usual, Green Mountain Gamers will have snacks available to buy: sodas, snack cakes, and chips.
Most of the nearby options for food and drink are easily found cruising along Route 5. Yelp and Urbanspoon can provide more information about dining opportunities in the Lyndonville area.
