Initial Subject is a word game for 2 or more players. The winner is the player/team that can make a five, or more, letter word from the vowel and consonant cards. These are won by providing answers to the subject cards starting with the selected vowel or consonant. Opposing players are supposed to put off the guesser by talking, shouting, or otherwise distracting him (no touching), while the steel ball-bearing in the novel Labyrinth Timer runs down its ten second path. - BoardGameGeek
