Success hinges on accumulating Slayer Coins and Rank Points (RP). Slayer Coins can be utilized to purchase items from merchants and unlock features on the board.

Efficiently managing Slayer Coins is crucial for maximizing RP, as the player with the most RP at the end of the game will be declared the Strongest Demon Slayer swordsman.

Adding an extra layer of strategy and excitement to the gameplay, each Demon Slayer possesses a unique Slayer’s dice with powerful effects.

These dice can be used strategically, but players must be mindful, as there is a cooldown period of three turns before they can be used again.

Additionally, forming alliances with other Demon Slayers allows players to access their allies’ Slayer’s dice, providing a tactical advantage in the quest for victory.

From “Sneaky Sword Styling,” where players attempt to make serrations on Inosuke’s jagged Nichirin Sword without getting caught, to “Tanjiro’s Total Concentration Training,” where assistance is provided to Tanjiro during intense training sessions, the minigames bring the series to life in a new and interactive way.
