From BoardGameGeek

In the fast-moving, easy-to-learn game Giant, players draft cards that can become troops in their army to fight six giants that have attacked the kingdom. The giants are large stand-up boards with punch-out circles representing hits to the head, torso, arm, or feet. Tokens are shaken in a cup and placed in a pool on the table. One side of the tokens is a color matching each player with a number, and the other side has a magic, weapon, or gold symbol. Players draft tokens With the gold they hire their army, with the magic they fuel their wizards, and with the weapon they activate their fighters. Once a giant is hit, the striking player gets the punch token. When a giant is dead, players roll dice, based on their punch tokens, for victory points or more fuel tokens. If the numbers showing on the tokens when they come out of the cup equal 7 for any particular player, that player has a troop killed in combat.
