The series stars Sanshiro Tamon (多聞 三志郎, Tamon Sanshirō), a boy in Gyakunippon. And a man named Fue (不壊) invites Sanshiro to play the Bakegyamon game.

Sanshiro's chances of having an adventure are slim to none in his tiny island hometown, until the day a mysterious stranger invites him to play a game... Without warning, Sanshiro is taken to a backwards universe to play BakéGyamon—a game pitting monsters against monsters. Along the way he meets other players who have a particular reason for being there—to obtain the wish that is granted to the winner. But how far can Sanshiro get when the monsters he's been paired with are a bunch of little mud balls?

As the series concept was created by Kazuhiro Fujita, and contains a number of monsters from his popular manga series Ushio and Tora.
