The Temple reimagines Chaosmos for up to 6 players and introduces a replacement set of character boards and a new cardset. There's also alliances and ally powers. Combat is more strategic and interesting; because of new cards and powers there's more decision-making. There's lots of new Traps and a new flip card called the Trust Locker. It lets players to store items to share with their ally, a bit like a storage locker that only has one key and every time you close it, only your ally can open it again. There's a new Temple Clock with slots for mini-cards featuring randomly-triggered Events. There's also power upgrades for each alien, including the 3 new aliens. There's an optional fold-out board with 10 planets on one side and 12 on the back. This expansion comes with a complete replacement for the equipment cards, with a clean and easy setup to get you playing the game in only 3 minutes! —description from the publisher
