Each kit comes with everything you need.
But the chassis parts will come as flat, you will need to do the last assembly and bending yourself, that’s part of the experience.
To guide you through assembly you will get an illustrated build guide with instructions and bend angles. When the assembly is complete you just need to get the electronics components in place and load your games.

As the goal of √-CADE is to is get you involved in the assembly process right out of the box you will need some instructions to help you getting through it.
We have tried to keep that as simple and fun as possible, 4 pages, 16 steps, and nothing more, the arcade cabinet is ready to be played with.
