Crowdfunding Content

"Slay the Spire: The Board Game" (hereinafter referred to as the "base set") is a board game based on the popular digital game "Slay the Spire" (available on Steam/Nintendo Switch, etc.). It has garnered strong support from both domestic digital game and board game fans, with series sales in Japan exceeding 200 million yen.

This time, as an expansion set, the popular "Downfall" mod from the original digital game has been adapted into a board game. Players can enjoy a reverse perspective, controlling the boss enemies from the base set – "Slime Boss," "Guardian," and "Hexaghost" – as they descend the Spire. Conversely, the characters from the base set – "Ironclad," "Silent," "Defect," and "Watcher" – now act as the bosses.

Purpose of Crowdfunding

The funds raised will be used for royalties based on discussions with the overseas licensor, manufacturing costs, translation expenses for the Japanese edition, and shipping costs. As board games are highly language-dependent, the goal is to make the game enjoyable for a wider audience by releasing it in Japanese.

To meet the diverse needs of supporters, six different plans have been prepared. Some plans include the Collector's Edition of the base set, which had previously sold out.
