Canoodling game review
Canoodling is a good starting place for those new to lovers' games, or great for a romantic evening of deep discussion with your partner. If you're looking for something a little spicy, however, look elsewhere.Published: April 30, 2008
Pros:
Attractive and romantic
Cons:
Not very sexually explicit, some activities can not be performed on the spot, not much of a "game"
Canoodling is more of a romantic game for lovers than an adult sex game. Sure, it has its share of naughty suggestions, but at least half the game is devoted to talking and discussing your feelings. Some of the cards are not sexual at all (like what would you do with a $500 windfall). Most of them involve questions about what you love or what attracts you about your partner, your thoughts and feelings on romance, and the like.
Canoodling really is not much of a game. You take turn drawing cards and acting on them, and apparently continue until the deck is depleted. You always have the right to refuse to act on a card, but there is no penalty to doing so except to “talk” to your partner about your reasons for doing so. Yawn.
There are no illustrations or photos on the cards, but they are done in a classy purplish-red and white color scheme. The box and cards do feature a somewhat tacky pair of red lips, but overall the presentation is pleasing.
The activities on the cards involve a lot of caressing and sensual massage. Mostly, though, as I said, they involve sharing your thoughts and feelings with your partner, like describing in detail a romantic and sexy night with your partner. While this does have some value, I prefer games that have you ACT on the fantasies, not just describe them. The game also contains several cards that suggest being acted out “in the future,” like sharing your favorite erotic fantasy and planning on eventually acting it out. Again, I prefer games that can be played then and there.
Overall, the game is fairly tame, focusing on discussion and massages/caresses of hands, feet, etc. rather than explicit sexual activity. So it would be a good starting game for newcomers, or a pleasant way to spend a purely romantic night.

Follow-up commentary
4 months after original review
I recently revisited this game because of a question posted about it, and noticed just how couple-oriented the game is. It is probably a good choice for beginners who are just starting to explore each other, or for those who are timid about playing sex games and what might be revealed by so doing. All in all, this game is completely non-threatening and couples-friendly.

Thank you for viewing Canoodling game – adult game review page!
I love the word "canoodle." It can be used in so many fun ways.
Great name. Lame game. :(
Asking a couple questions for a friend of mine:
How does the game address the players? (spouse/partner/girlfriend/boyfriend/etc?)
Does it involve talking about sex with others, either past encounters or in fantasy?
Thanks!
Ok, sorry, had to dig the game out.
The game uses the address of "partner" throughout.
I looked through all the cards, and there is nothing about past encounters or sex with others in fantasy. In fact, the game seems to take pains to focus on the partner, i.e. telling your partner about a favorite romantic encounter you had with him/her. The only way I could see other people coming into it is if you purposely introduced them, for example saying that an aroma reminds you of a past girlfriend's perfume or that a fantasy involving your partner (specified on the card) would also involve another person. But that would be stretching it on your part.
Hope this helps!
