A euphemism that can refer to almost any small group activity, from management seminars to orgies, and from clique-based bullying to Christmas-related social gatherings. The significance in the use of the term is in the fact that the reindeer games in the song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, are undefined and left to the imagination, though specifically related to a particular group. The clique-based bullying has been a favored definition because the other reindeer also "used to laugh and call (Rudolph) names." But some experts believe Rudolph may have been excluded from the games specifically because his red nose gave him an unfair advantage, not dissimilar to bringing a gun to a knife fight.
1. Don? Oh, he's out playing reindeer games, you know, that stupid fantasy warlord group he belongs to.
2. Is everyone here? Got the ladders, brushes, rollers, and paint? Then let the reindeer games begin.
3. Happy holidays like hell! I spent my entire lunch hour playing reindeer games at the post office, trying to get my packages mailed.

When a guy, possibly drunk and dressed as Santa, gives his partner one up the arse from behind, whilst grabbing her hair ( preferably pigtailed for full giddy up effect ) and saying Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!

Don't let Good Will Hunting or The Town fool you, Reindeer Games and Paycheck is the closest thing you will see to the real Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck is witnessing Gary Sinise, the man of many faces, fuck his own sister, or so he thought. This Reindeer Games movie is as bad as Paycheck, this guy knows how to make bad acting a trend or a statement of some sort. He's going to drag Gary Sinise right down with him, Leonardo DiCaprio starts to look more like James Cagney after watching Ben Affleck, not that Leonardo DiCaprio is a bad actor, he can at least make people cry instead of just laugh at him like Ben Affleck.

A deer of the tundra and subarctic regions of Eurasia and North America, both sexes of which have large branching antlers. Most Eurasian reindeer are domesticated and used for drawing sledges and as a source of milk, flesh, and hide.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let pour Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve,
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him,
as they shouted out with glee.
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history!"
