Panzer Pranks, WWII as it actually was in the movies is a 1980 board wargame published by Chaosium.[1]
Gameplay
[edit]Panzer Pranks is a comedic combat simulation game,[2] which satirizes the conventions of standard board wargames.[3]
Reception
[edit]Joseph M. Hurst reviewed Panzer Pranks in The Space Gamer No. 28.[2] Hurst commented that "This game is a lot more fun to read than to play. It is a satire on simulation mania, and uses both rapier and bludgeon freely and sometimes simultaneously."[2]
Ken Rolston reviewed Panzer Pranks in White Wolf #43 (May 1994) and stated that "The charm of Panzer Pranks (subtitled 'WWII as it actually was in the movies') is in the cheerful rules and design. As far as I know, this is the first wargame to include a 'Glossary of Sound Effects and Key Phrases.'"[4]
