Word Jam

Ali Baba and his thieves in front of the cave only remember the consonants of the magic word, but who would bet on the outcome? Players are looking for the most valuable words containing the available consonants, but are limited by a style-card. The word in each round must fit a theme, consonants have the value of their assigned coin cards, consonants besides the sabre cards can not be used. Who thinks he has found the best word becomes Ali Baba of the round, the others believe him or turn thief and have 20 seconds to find a better word. Then points for the round are modified accordingly, the eighth round is played with a different betting mechanism, after eight rounds the player with the moist points wins.
