"Company Card" Score sheet: 4-1/2" x 18-1/4" <br/><br/>"ULCERS is the big business game that recognizes an important business fact: PEOPLE are among a corporation's most valuable assets. And people are why executives ger ulcers." "Even thought ULCERS is a close approximation of everyday business life it's fun to play. After all you don't often get the opportunity to manipulate for fun and profit. Go ahead. Be your own boss. Get ULCERS." These are some quotes from the description on the back of the box. It also mentions "ages 9 to adult". We can wonder what this game's ultimate purpose was: To start teaching children young the intricacies of choosing a career as an executive To offer an amusing game to the proletariats Or was is just a fun game made in the late 1960s Whether the developer of the game had any or none of these in mind the fact does remain that this is a game of the times. The "people" that you have to chose from to hold different positions have some major gender disporpotions: 16 male cards and only 6 female cards. With 7 positions 2 secretaries 2 salesman 1 sales manager 1 vice president and 1 president for each player to fill its hard to believe that the "woman cards" were used for much beyond the secretaries.
