About Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board!
The anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba makes its debut in virtual board games. We will enjoy events and mini-games with up to four players, both locally and online.
We will roll the dice and try to become the strongest Demon Slayer swordsman. Iconic anime locations such as Mount Fujikasane and Asakusa will appear as boards in this game.
We will roll the dice to advance along the board. Each board has a daytime period and a nighttime period. During the day, we will prepare for the night with events and mini-games. At night, we will look for the demons to defeat them.
We’ll choose from your favorite Demon Slayer Corps characters, including Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the Hashira. Nezuko appears on the game board as a support character to help the players.
Those who purchase the digital edition on the Nintendo eShop will unlock the following:
- base game
- A set of four stamps featuring Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira.

He Day One patch (detailed below) adds a new board to the game, themed around the Blacksmiths’ Village. Blacksmiths like Haganezuka, Kanamori, and Tecchin are present to help us in various ways.

During the night, the powerful demons Gyokko and Hantengu will appear, waiting for the four players who dare to challenge them.
