The reindeer effect is as an instance where something that is gross, unattractive, unintelligent, savage, unappealing, or just completely awful in real life is redefined through cartoons and cultural representations as cute, cuddly, cunning, kind, attractive, or appealing. For example, reindeer and most animals or anything else that is personified through cartoons or songs.
I went to Africa and was nearly killed by an angry Hippopotamus that charged out of the river and attacked our Safari truck unprovoked! I didn't they were so vicious, probably because of how friendly they look on those Hungry Hungry Hippos commercials. I blame our lack of caution around hippos on the reindeer effect that that game has created.

Amanda: Stop running away from me and locking me out of your room, i'm sick and tired of you playing these reindeer games
Andy: That made no sense because that is not the def. of reindeer games.... look it up
Urban Dictionary: there is not one def. like that......
(i'll add it to make amanda feel better)

When you stick a string of jingle bells up your ass and run around with antlers on playing 'reindeer games'.

Like the "Hunger Games" but with a red nosed deer, a kinky elf, a fucked up, acid tripping santa, and several puffy penguins along with wheelchairs instead of weapons.

"Touchy feely" hand games played in bed with a woman when one is attempting to fornicate with her. Generally speaking, reindeer games are played when one is trying to get his or her (less commonly) partner in the mood.
"She passed out in my bed and I started playing reindeer games on her back. Pretty soon she was DTF."

I'm just going to take a wild guess and say it's a reference to the games that reindeers play, specifically probably inspired by the song Rudolf the rednosed reindeer.
I've had it with these motherfucking reindeers and their motherfucking games!!!
Fucking reindeer games!
Fucking reindeer games!
