GI Show – Best Holiday Party Games, Interns' Games Of The Year
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! On this episode, Ben Hanson, Matt Miller, Ben Reeves, and Suriel Vazquez recommend a ton of video and tabletop games to play with family and friends over the holiday break. We know family time can be stressful, and we're here to help. After some great community emails and a surprising visit from a Christmas icon, we say goodbye to our wonderful batch of Game Informer interns George Ash, Keenan McCall, and Cody Mello-Klein and force them to debate about the best game of 2017.

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.
