Title:
Ulcers
Description:
This game’s theme is fairly unique: you are trying to assemble a full staff of personnel (two secretaries, two salesmen, one sales manager, one vice-president and one president) to run your company. The problem is there aren’t enough available in total for more than one company to achieve that goal. You win by assembling a full staff and making it safely around to a New Fiscal Year (the ”Go” square, in other words).
As you move about the (bilingual, two-sided) board, you’ll have opportunities to hire or raid competing companies. You must decide how much to pay your people --not enough and they’ll switch companies, too much and your company will go bankrupt. Managing your money is an important aspect of the game but it isn’t the victory condition.
Amusingly, the early editions had all-female secretaries and all-male higher personnel; later editions kept the illustrations but shuffled them throughout the positions.
