Game for a thrill

A game called Nookii is bound to make you giggle. But it's what it might lead to that its creators hope will put a smile on your face all next day. 'It's foreplay with a twist, a way of getting to know your partner intimately in just 15 minutes!' Take a set of suggestion cards, categorized as 'Mmm', 'Ohh' and 'Aah'. Add a naked body or two (because that - not a board- is what the game moves around). Then, basically, light the blue touch paper and retire. Launched last November, Nookii is now on sale at Hamleys, independent stores, all kinds of web sites (from for-the-lads to wedding sites) and Virgin Megastores, which on Valentine's Day showcased the game in its window with a real-life semi-clad couple whose eight-hour Nookii-athon drew crowds.
