This is a simple chase and capture game in that the Giant is trying to catch Jack. The Giant is a large pawn shaped piece, and Jack is a small disc. There is a spinner with values of 1 to 5. There are interconnected paths with dots to mark positions along the paths. The game board is glued to the bottom of the two piece box.

They cannot pass ecah other on the same path. If Giant lands on dot occupied by Jack, he wins. If Jack reaches Door of Giants Castle and gets home safely, he wins (having got the hen that lays the golden egg).
