GI Show – The Best Board Games For Your Holiday Break
Welcome to another episode of The Game Informer Show podcast! Since a lot of will most likely be spending a lot of time with family and friends over the holiday break, we thought it would be a good week to toss out some great tabletop game recommendations. We're joined by Matt Miller (who writes a tabletop game-focused column every two weeks called Top of the Table), Joe Juba, and Andrew Reiner to pool our knowledge and suggest some great games for families with kids, strategy-focused families, groups ready to lie to each other, and much more.
After we get the board games and community emails out of our system, we're joined by Game Informer's batch of outgoing interns Michael Leri, Ian Boudreau, and Kevin Slackie (click through to follow them on Twitter) to talk about their experience at the magazine, their favorite games of the year, and the future of our internship program.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
