In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, the Robot Fight Club kickstarter campaign is LIVE! We’ve been working our socks off to spread the word, and this weekend we’re introducing the #RobotFightClub challenge. To take part, all you need to do is download and build the standees from the Robot Fight Club Print & Play Set, take a photo of one or more of them in an interesting situation, and post it on social media using the #RobotFightClub hashtag. Make sure you tag us, as well as three friends who you think should do the same! We’ll pick some of our favourites next week and stick them on the Needy Cat social media pages.
Juggernaut here is a fine addition to any desk, bedside table or dashboard.
Oh, and while you’re doing it… the Print & Play pack gives you everything you need to play a bout from start to finish! How convenient is that? Once you’ve taken some photos, you might as well build the rest and play a game of Robot Fight Club to see what you think. If you’ve liked any of our other games, we reckon you just might like this one too! :)
So best of luck, and get crafting… we wanna see the crazy places you put our robots.
Construction Instructions
If you just want to build the standees, you’ll find instructions on the sheet. For everything else in the set, there are two methods. Method one involves printing the card decks double-sided onto card, while method two involves printing them onto paper and using card sleeves and playing cards. Personally, we prefer the second one (it doesn't involve any double sided printing, and sleeved cards are easier to handle) but hey, you do you.
Method One
You need:
11 sheets of thin A4* card.
8 sheets of A4* paper (if you'd like to print the rulebook).
Craft knife, steel ruler and cutting mat, or scissors.
Paper glue - pritt stick or a similar glue stick is ideal.
*If you're in the US, print onto Letter instead of A4, it should work out fine.
Print out the rulebook (file 01) on paper, if you’re printing it. It'll work well if you print it as a booklet, but don't worry if you can't figure that out!
Print files 02, 03 and 04 - that's the board tiles, standees and tokens - onto card, one sheet per file (single sided). Alternatively, print them onto paper and stick them onto card. Cut out the board tiles, and follow the instructions on the other sheets to make your double-sided tokens and standees.
Print files 05, 06 and 07 - the various playing cards - onto card, double-sided. Alternatively, print them single-sided onto paper and stick them either side of a sheet of card - just bear in mind that they might not line up as well. The files aligned up so that page 2 is on the back of page 1, and so on. Cut out all of the cards by following the dotted lines.
Method Two
You need:
26 sheets of A4* paper (18 if you don’t want to print the rulebook)
4 sheets of A4*-ish thin card - cereal box is ideal.
42 standard sized clear card sleeves. (These are the ones we use in-house)
24 mini American sized clear card sleeves. (These should do the trick)
Spare / blank cards to fit into all of your sleeves. You can buy packs of playing cards in both sizes for not a lot of money on Amazon, and they’re ideal for this.
Craft knife, steel ruler and cutting mat, or scissors.
Paper glue - pritt stick or a similar glue stick is ideal.
*If you're in the US, print onto Letter instead of A4, it should work out fine.
Print out the rulebook (file 01) on paper, if you’re printing it. It'll work well if you print it as a booklet, but don't worry if you can't figure that out!

Cut out the board tiles, and follow the instructions on the other sheets to make your double-sided tokens and standees.
Print files 05, 06 and 07 - the various playing cards - onto paper, single sided. Cut out the Chassis Unit cards (at the bottom of page 3, in file 07) as a block, stick them onto card, then cut them out along the dotted lines.
Fill all your card sleeves with spare / blank cards. Cut out all of the remaining cards along the dotted lines, and slot them into the sleeves, making sure to match up the fronts and backs.
