Shadows have fallen over Hara; the bastion of beauty and free expression has become warped by powers of its own design. With so many strong-willed souls all creating in one space, it was only a matter of time before the edges started to crack. Now the evil serpent, Doubt, is spreading, corrupting paradise from within. Dark Rifts are emerging to poison the land around them, and the Kensei, Hara's stewards, are becoming increasingly demanding of the poor souls that have been brought to this world. Chaos On Hara, an expansion to Champions Of Hara, adds four new playable characters, along with the components necessary for five and six player games. Go deeper into the world of Hara with new Monsters and Event cards for each World, and face off against four vicious new Corrupted foes. This expansion also contains sixteen new Scenarios for you to fight your way through, including four new solo Scenarios and four ultra-hard "Challenges From The Void".
Champions of Hara: Chaos On Hara supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it.
