A new room opens, the turret blinks, IRIS announces the wave. Someone rushes to the engine, someone else prays the dice hold. No one knows yet if you will make it in one piece.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
More rooms, more threats, more ways to save the Spark
Galactic Modules brings 2 new Riders, 6 new ship rooms, 1 new turret, and 4 unprecedented missions to the base game. Designed by Quentin Deleau and illustrated by Logan Chaix, Guillaume Lucbert, and Raphaël Minette, this module expands the Spark Riders 3000 universe without altering its core essence.
Spark Riders 3000 is a cooperative hybrid tower defense and survival game for 1-4 players. The IRIS app, the ship's artificial intelligence, communicates the vessel's status and alien actions in real time. Galactic Modules adds new modular configurations, characters, and scenarios: each game builds a different ship, every choice matters to make it out alive.

Spark Riders 3000: Galactic Modules
The base game officially supports 1 player. Galactic Modules maintains the same compatibility: you manage multiple Riders alone, the IRIS app orchestrates the threats. The experience is complete but loses the frantic negotiation of multiplayer under pressure.
FrogScore · FroGames editorial rating · first read: based on rules and official presentation, updated with first playsWhat the expansion brings
New pieces, new strategies
6 new ship rooms
Unprecedented modules for the Spark: different configurations, tactical priorities that change every game. Each room has unique functions for defense or repair.
2 new Riders
Characters with different abilities that open up alternative tactical approaches. Each Rider has unique skills to integrate into the existing team.
1 new turret
Additional defensive system to protect critical rooms. Integrates into the existing defense system with its own mechanics.
4 unprecedented missions
New scenarios with never-before-seen objectives and threat configurations. Designed to leverage the new modules and increase the challenge.
🎲How to playThe rules in four steps▼
How to play
The flow of each round
IRIS orchestrates, you react. Each turn is a countdown.
The app announces damage, incoming threats, special mission events. You know what's about to happen, but not always how to stop it.
Each Rider moves between the ship's rooms (including the 6 new ones). Decide where your actions are needed: repair, shoot, activate special modules.
Actions on rooms, turrets (including the new one), equipment. You roll dice to resolve. You can leave help tokens for companions.
IRIS performs alien actions: attacks, environmental events, damage to rooms. If a vital room is destroyed, the mission fails.
⏱️Your first gameThe chronicle, moment by moment▼
A game in five moments
What happens at the table
Not the rules. The experience.
Modular Setup
Choose which of the 6 new rooms to mount on the Spark. Each configuration changes the tactics: engine close to weapons or far away? New turret where? The ship is never the same.
First Alien Wave
IRIS announces contacts. The new Riders have abilities you don't know well yet. Someone moves towards the new turret, someone tests the new rooms. The dice decide if it works.
Critical room damaged
One of the new rooms breaks down. Someone needs to be there immediately or the defense chain breaks. But the other wing of the Spark cries for help. The wrong choice is costly.
Room + turret combo
Finally, you figure out how to make the new module and the turret work together. For a moment, it seems like you have control. Then IRIS announces a special mission event. Everything changes.
Arrival or destruction
The last wave. Critical rooms are in red. The new turret holds or gives way. IRIS communicates the outcome. Victory by a hair or glorious defeat, it will be a story to tell.
🐸To know beforehandThree honest things, from friends▼
Good to know beforehand
Three honest things
Base game required
Galactic Modules is an expansion: not playable on its own. It requires the Spark Riders 3000 base game to function. The new rooms and missions integrate into the existing system, they don't replace it.
App mandatory
The game is hybrid: the IRIS app (smartphone/tablet) is required to play. It won't start without the app. The app orchestrates everything: timer, events, communications, alien actions. Noisy environments can disturb voice recognition.
Luck in the dice
Actions are resolved with dice rolls. You plan well but a bad roll can ruin the chain. There are ways to mitigate (equipment, help), but randomness is present and felt.
🏆Victory and defeatWhat the ending rewards▼
How it ends
How to win and how to lose
Simple goal: deliver the cargo without losing vital rooms.
Victory
- Reach the mission delivery point within the time limit
- All vital Spark rooms are still intact
- You have completed any secondary scenario objectives
Defeat
- One of the ship's vital rooms is destroyed
- The cargo is intercepted by alien pirates
- Time/round runs out without achieving the objective
Galactic Modules doesn't change the essence of Spark Riders: defend, react, resist. It changes how you do it. Every new room is a possibility, every mission a new challenge.
