Reception

W. G. Armintrout reviewed Helltank in The Space Gamer No. 49.[1] Armintrout commented that "Helltank got shortchanged somewhere in production. I do like the game, but I can recommend it only for experienced gamers who don't mind second-guessing the rules on a few vital points and who don't mind doing mental bookkeeping. Too bad - this game could have been a contender."[1]

Tony Watson reviewed Helltank in Ares Magazine #13 and commented that "Helltank isn't without its problems; the rules could have been tightened in some places and the type face used in the rules book approaches downright ugly, but it's an interesting little game, a sure winner for the asking price."[2]

gollark: I think I have a 3G from 2 prizes Braxatiel gifted me lying around, but I have nothing to breed it with yet.
gollark: *That* just cost a CB magma, so occasionally you can get lucky, I guess?
gollark: I managed to get a 3G PB prize IOU for a 3G prize from CB prize. That was a weird day.
gollark: Via madness, there are actually 3G PB prizes in existence.
gollark: If you particularly care it's probably possible to get something more compact than JSON, but I guess that usually won't matter.
