Overview
Immerse yourself in the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba in this digital tabletop adventure!
Prominent locations from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime, such as Mount Fujikasane, Asakusa, the
Mugen Train, and the Swordsmith Village, will show up on the board!
Choose your favorite Demon-Slayer swordsman and use their Slayer’s Dice!
Play as Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, or one of the nine Hashira. Each Demon-Slayer swordsman possesses their own Slayer’s Dice that grants powerful effects unique to each member. Once used, it’ll takes three turns before it can be used again, so make sure to pick the right timing to maximize its effect. If another Demon-Slayer swordsman becomes your ally, you will be able to use their Slayer’s Dice in addition to your own.
Tackle a variety of minigames!
As the game progresses, players will participate in a number of minigames, ranging from 4-player free-for-alls to 2-on-2 team battles. At night, demons—including powerful foes like Akaza and Hantengu will appear on some of the squares, allowing you to challenge them in combat-based minigames. Shake your Joy-Con™ and face off against them as a 4-player team.
