The FroGames Card
A second droid enters the engine room. Someone screams "Thruster active!". Prosperity cards come out of the deck like unexpected gifts. The mission takes a turn you hadn't anticipated, and the table explodes.
WHAT IT IS ABOUT
Two droids, twenty-five cards, and an arsenal that changes everything
The Prosperity Box is the Kickstarter exclusive expansion for Spark Riders 3000, the app-driven space cooperative game by Logan Chaix, Guillaume Lucbert, and Raphaël Minette for Arkada Studio. Produced in extremely limited quantities, this box will never reach retail. Those who have it, keep it.
Inside, you'll find two new playable crew members (droid miniatures), six additional Thrusters for your vessel, poker chip character tokens, and, most importantly, 25 Prosperity equipment cards that reshuffle the tactical possibilities of every mission. It's not a mini-expansion: it's fuel for those who want to vary the base game without changing its soul.
What they say abroad
This is an expansion created to enrich the base game, not for new players. If you don't own Spark Riders 3000 yet, you don't need the Prosperity Box. But if you've already completed a few missions with IRIS, you'll know exactly how much value two extra characters and 25 equipment cards bring to the deck.

Spark Riders 3000: Prosperity Box
Spark Riders 3000 supports solo play in the base game thanks to the IRIS app. The Prosperity Box adds two new characters you can control solo and equipment cards that enrich builds. The experience remains complete, but you lose the cooperative chaos of simultaneous decisions.

Physical contents of the Prosperity Box
2 Droid miniatures
Two new playable crew members, complete with miniature and character card. They integrate with the 5 classes of the base game and open up unprecedented crew combinations.
6 Thruster miniatures
Sculpted thrusters that attach to the vessel. Premium details that make every engine upgrade visible on the board.
25 Prosperity equipment cards
Premium cards that enter the base game's equipment deck. Advanced strategies, new tactical options, never-before-seen builds. The heart of the expansion.
7 poker chip character tokens
Character tokens in poker chip format, premium material that replaces standard markers. Heavy, satisfying, Kickstarter collectible.
🎲How to PlayThe rules in four steps▼
How to integrate
Prosperity Box Setup and Use
It doesn't change the rules, it adds content. It integrates in 5 minutes.
The 2 Droid crew cards are shuffled into the base game's character pool. During setup, each player can choose them like any other class. The droid miniatures replace the standard tokens.
The 25 Prosperity cards go into the main equipment deck. They don't form a separate deck: they are shuffled, and might come out (or not) during the game. Every equipment purchase is a discovery.
The 6 Thruster miniatures are applied to the vessel when you purchase engine upgrades. The poker chip character tokens replace the standard character tokens: same function, premium material.
From here on, the rules are identical to the base game. The IRIS app doesn't change, rounds flow as always. The difference lies in the available choices, not the game flow.
⏱️Your first gameThe story, moment by moment▼
A game in five moments
What changes at the table with Prosperity
Not the rules. The experience.
Setup with a surprise
You open the base game box, then take out Prosperity. Two new droids are shuffled into the crew cards, the 25 equipment cards enter the deck. Someone asks "Can I take the medical droid?" and you nod. The game hasn't even started yet and you already know it will be different.
The first Prosperity card
First equipment purchase: you draw a card you've never seen before. You read the effect, look at the others. "This changes everything." Someone laughs, someone recalculates their build. The equipment deck is alive like never before.
The droid makes the difference
Third round, the ship catches fire. The droid moves into the engine room, uses its special ability, repairs two damage in one turn. Without Prosperity you would have lost an entire round. Instead, you breathe. Two extra characters mean two extra strategies on the board.
The combo that didn't exist
Someone combines a Prosperity card with a base game ability. The result is devastating: three aliens off the board, zero damage taken. Everyone stares at the combo. "Can we do it again?" The base game had limits, now the ceiling has been raised.
Victory with style
Last jump, ship intact, crew alive. Someone says "With the base deck, we would never have made it." It's not true, but with Prosperity, it was better. More options, more choices, more memorable moments. You put everything back in the box and already think about the next build.
🐸What to know beforeThree honest things, from friends▼
What to know before
Three things you need to know
Requires the base game
The Prosperity Box is not standalone. Without Spark Riders 3000 core game, this box makes no sense. It's designed for those who have already played at least 3-4 missions and want to vary the experience. If you are new to the game, start with the base and come back here later.
Kickstarter exclusive expansion
Produced in very limited quantities, the Prosperity Box will never reach retail according to Arkada Studio. Those who got it on Kickstarter/Gamefound will keep it. On the secondary market, prices are already above the original pledge. Hard to find, easy to regret.
Does not change complexity
The new equipment cards and droids do not add complexity to the rules. If you know how to play the base game, you know how to use Prosperity. The only difference is that you have more choices during the game, but the game's weight remains identical. Zero additional learning curve.
🏆Victory and defeatWhat the ending rewards▼
How it ends
Victory and defeat conditions
The conditions are identical to the base game: the Prosperity Box does not affect mission objectives.
Victory
- Complete the objective of the chosen mission (cargo delivery, exploration, survival)
- The vessel reaches its final destination with at least one crew member alive
- IRIS confirms mission success via the app
Defeat
- The Spark vessel sustains irreparable critical damage (all sections destroyed)
- All crew members are eliminated (including Prosperity droids)
- The mission timer expires before reaching the objective (IRIS events)
The Prosperity Box doesn't change the rules, it changes how many times you'll want to replay. More characters, more equipment, more combinations. Same game, infinite new playthroughs.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ about Spark Riders 3000: Prosperity Box
Can I play the Prosperity Box without the base game?
No. The Prosperity Box is a pure expansion: it only contains additional characters, equipment cards, and miniatures. Without the Spark Riders 3000 core game (which includes the board, IRIS app, rules, scenarios) this box has no function. It is designed exclusively for those who already own the base game.
Are the 25 Prosperity cards mandatory or can I play without them?
They are completely optional and modular. You can use all of them, only some, or none. They shuffle into the standard equipment deck: if you don't add them, the game functions identically to the base game. Some players keep them separate and gradually introduce them after thoroughly exploring the core set.
Are droids stronger than the base game classes?
No, they are balanced with the other crew members. Each droid has unique abilities, like all 5 base classes, but they are not power creep. Arkada Studio designed them to offer different strategies, not superior advantages. In some missions, they will be perfect, in others, you'll prefer a base character.
What mechanics does Spark Riders 3000 use?
The base game (and therefore Prosperity) uses cooperative play, real-time app integration, hand management, dice rolling and action point allowance system. Each round, the IRIS app dictates events and threats, players act simultaneously moving around the vessel, repairing damage, shooting aliens, and managing resources. Prosperity adds variety of equipment and crew, but the core mechanics remain identical.
Is it available in Italian?
This edition is in English. The Prosperity equipment cards, droid crew cards, and tokens are all in English. The IRIS app (included in the base game) supports several languages, including Italian, but the physical components of the Prosperity Box remain in their original English version. There are no official Italian translations of this expansion.
