Pachisi

In English the game is called Pachisi, in German „Mensch ärgere dich nicht“ but it also exists with other names in other countries. This tutorial is my idea only. Please contact me should you find similarities with other tutorials.

The faces and game pieces were tubed by myself from pictures available on pinterest.com. The other material was generated by myself.

The owner of the copyright for this tutorial and for its translation into English is me, krimi4mimi or Margit.

Thanks Inge-Lore for testing the tutorial.

I hope the SIM PSP group likes the tutorial for its aniversary and you enjoy to follow it.

For this tutorial you won’t need any filters but only the functions of PSP. I generated it using PSP 2020.

In addition you need the following material and six face tubes.

Open the selection tool and set the values tox = 26 and y = 49
„Write „Years of“ or the corresponding text in your language

Paste the dice from the material as a new layer. Yes, it is intended that all faces of the cube show 6. Repeat the above drop shadow
Open the „Steinchen“ file and load the aerger14 selection
Go to the empty bottom layer and fill the selection with a color from your image. Set the blend mode of the upper level to Luminance Legacy
Layers – Merge – Merge down
Save the game piece in this color, cancel the last steps and repeat them for your five other colors
Repeat the above drop shadow for all game pieces
Arrange four copies of all colors on the game board according to your liking. If this is too much for you, there can also be less players.

I’m looking forward to seeing your versions.
