Iris and the Giant is a role-playing strategy video game developed by French[1] designer Louis Rigaud and published by Goblinz Studio, Plug In Digital, Maple Whispering Limited and Mugen Creations.

[4][5] The game was inspired by the developer Louis Rigaud's experiences with creating "interactive papercraft books" for kids.

[6][7][8] The game begins with a limited number of cards representing different attacks and defenses that will be used in combat against enemies on a grid.

There are a total of 51 cards to earn throughout the game that can enable specialized directions in combat and also various secrets and surprises to find while discovering the world.

[10] The player can also use magic in different ways as well as cards involving elemental effects, fire and lighting, for instance.

Powerful cards not available from standard chests can be gained from defeating certain boss monsters, for example defeating a Giant Cat Archer with a steal card gives the player a Feline Bow that when held prevents attacks from cat-headed demons.
