The players who get the most money in the game have a great chance at winning the game. On the other end of the spectrum one player was very lucky when it came to money. At one point in the game they got to go to the business venture track.

This actually happened three times on the same turn and the player ended up making several hundred thousand dollars on the turn which had them set up with money for the rest of the game. This just goes to show you that you need luck with money and landing on the right spaces in order to win Ulcers.

At this point Ulcers might not sound that great since it relies on luck and simple roll and move mechanics. While I called the game a HR management game, that is kind of an exaggeration.

Mostly you just manage hiring new employees and keeping their salaries competitive in order to prevent other players from stealing them. While this might sound boring I have to say it is more interesting than you would think. It actually has a decent amount of strategy behind it as well. When hiring an employee you actually have to put some thought into how much you want to pay them.

You can go low in order to save money when you have to pay payroll and by going low you also give yourself more flexibility in how much you can pay higher level employees. By going low you put your employees at risk though since a player that has an opportunity to raid an employee is likely going to take an employee from a player that they will have to pay less for. Your decisions are never really complicated but you need to think about them or you could build yourself into a corner.

While luck has a big impact on who wins, a player can make it easier to win by being smart with how they pay employees. For example at the end of the game that I played, one player was about to win the game. A couple of the players even landed on the necessary raid space but were unable to steal any employees from the player that would eventually win the game. While Ulcers is not a fantastic game I actually thought it was a pretty good game for a s roll and move game.

The game is pretty easy to play and there is a pretty good balance between luck and strategy even though I wish there was a little less luck in the game. Other than luck the only other significant issue I have with the game is that it kind of takes a little too long to complete. The game will usually take around an hour and that means the game drags a little at the end especially if you have no way to get back into the game. The game would work better as a minute game than an hour game.

This can leave you with a 28 or 24 card deck respectfully. There is also a variation that adds a joker to the deck. Then this would change the deck totals to 33, 29, or Players draw for partners and first dealer. The two highest-ranked cards will be partnered and the two lowest-ranked cards will be partnered as well.

The lowest-ranked card is the first dealer. For this, the ranking is King high , Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, and ace low. The dealer passes to the left after each round.

The dealer will shuffle and the player to their right may cut the deck. Blooper see Back Alley. Bloutte , La see Two Hundred. Bock see Poch. Bog see Poch. Bonanza Pai Gow.
