Harakiri: Wrath of the Gods is an expansion for Harakiri: Blades of Honor released in 2024 for 1–4 players, 60–150 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Fernando Gamero and Joel Torres.
Corrupted by a crystal of unknown origin, various creatures from Chinese mythology have invaded Japan, and spread their influence to banish the Kamis, who for eons have protected those lands. Led by the Azure Dragon Seiryū (Qinglong), the Chinese Celestial Beasts attempt to subjugate the inhabitants of Japan, and it will be the duty of several characters from the Chinese folklore to stop them before it is too late. GAMEPLAY HIGHLIGHTS This expansion combines the map, on which the Chinese creatures will be from the beginning, with epic battles against them, for which you will have 4 new characters to choose from, with new abilities and powers. Also, the effects of the Shogun's influence will be replaced by permanent effects on the map due to the presence of the Celestial Beasts, among which you will have to choose the order against which you will face to unlock the path to the final combat against the Dragon himself. In addition, this expansion will also feature new equipment cards and skills, with which to face the threat coming from China. —description from the publisher
