About

Join us for the first event in 2026. We’re ready to help you learn how to play 18th-century games. Many people in the 18th century played a variety of card, dice, and board games. Letters, journals, and even existing game pieces can tell us a lot about the games they played in George Mason’s lifetime. A number of them are predecessors to games we still play today.
Learn how to play games like the Game of the Goose and Whist over a glass of wine or an 18th-century treat during this exciting night out at Gunston Hall. Game masters will be on hand to offer game recommendations, teach you how to play, and help you have a great time.
Participants at this event must be 21 or older.
