That's what I do.
Problem is, as
this article points out, our night vision degrades as we get older. Here's an example from the article of how something looks to a 20, 60, and 75 year old:
One night a few years ago after a cookout, my son and I went out in the back yard looking for a pair of shoes that a friend's child left back there. It was already pitch black, at least to me. My son went over to them and picked them up. I literally could not see them!
So while you may judge it's too dark to continue, it may in fact be relatively safe to play from the players' perspective. But hey, we need to be able to see to make calls, so our judgment prevails.
