www.DesktopGremlins.com is your destination for free papercraft that’s easy-to-build, fun to display and ultra-cool to share. Each Desktop Gremlin design has a different story, unique characteristics and extraordinary reasons to be sitting on your desk. Discover this menagerie of wonderment today!

DISCLAIMER: When a Desktop Gremlin is classified with the term “fan art” it means that the material presented consists of my original illustration and papercraft engineering but it is inspired by products and/or characters that I did not invent. TRON is not my invention (obviously) and this papercraft is in no way official nor endorsed by their owners and are either trademarks or registered trademarks of their owners in the United States and/or other countries. I will never sell or grant permission to sell a Desktop Gremlin Fan Art papercraft design based on a character I did not create.

THAT SAID: The movie TRON from 1982 is a huge favorite of mine. It inspired me to look at the computer as a tool to make art which in turn helped propel me into a career of graphic design! This papercraft is a gift to all the “users” that agree with me. End of line.

Turn your desktop into “the Grid” with these classically- styled light cycle papercrafts. It doesn’t get much more simple and elegant than this!

Note: this PDF has a second page. If you have two-sided photo paper, you can print page two on the back of this sheet so the art will cover both sides of the paper. Cool!

CUT MEOUT WITHSCISSORS

Cut out each light cycle and fold as indicated. The “M” means 90° mountain Fold and the “V” means 90° valley Fold.

At the beginning of the game, each player lays down SIX light cycle pieces to form a “game trail.” You do this by overlapping the “cycle” at the head of one piece with the “cycle shadow” on the tail of the next piece... thus moving your bike forward. For example, your game trail might look something like this:

After each player has a starting trail in place, roll a six-sided die to see who goes first. Highest roller goes first and then play continues in clock-wise rotation.

A player performs their turn by rolling the die to see how far his/her light cycle can move. For example, if the player rolls a “3”, they will choose three trails from their RESERVE collection and ADD it to the front of their game trail. Then they will REMOVE three trails from the back of their game trail and return them to their RESERVE. (Note: After a turn is complete, a player’s game trail is always six pieces long and a player always has six trail pieces in their RESERVE to use for their next turn.)

The die is then passed to the next player to perform their turn. The game continues in this manner and players try to trap their opponents in positions that they can not drive themselves out of.

Special note: Don’t stress too much about making sure that the trails are perfect 90° angles. Trails may bend a little bit as play continues — and that’s just fine.

If a player rolls the die and cannot complete their move because they would run into an opponent’s trail (or fall off the table) their trail is removed from the game and the remaining players continue to race until their is only one light cycle left standing.

In addition, you will need one six-sided die to play the game. The geek in me likes to call this the “Master Control Program” Cube! (MCP Cube)

When you’re done, each player will have 12 light cycle pieces of matching color that look like this (top view).

Play on a table that’s approximately 4 ft. x 4 ft. or larger — covered with a table cloth to keep the pieces from sliding away in a Sark rage!

PREPARATION:

HOW TO PLAY:

START FINISH

You can also populate the table with random objects to make the game harder and provide more hazzards. A can of soup or box of crackers can provide an interesting obstacle to navigate around as you hunt for your opponents. Experiment! Be creative! Have fun!
