Desafio das Lendas: criando um jogo de cartas com elementos do folclore brasileiro.

Abstract

This paper presents the process and development of an analog card game, themed around Brazilian folklore for its illustrations and narrative. The rules have been created throughout the game’s development process, with the aim of designing a game with simple, easy-to-learn mechanics that offers enjoyment while also highlighting the importance of knowing folklore. Brazil is a vast and diverse country with indigenous, African, and European influences embedded in its history, and its folklore reflects this diversity, providing an opportunity to explore and understand the many cultures present in the country. In creating the illustrations, an effort was made to capture the essence of these stories, which have been passed down through generations. This project is intended not only as a card game but also as a celebration of these narratives that resonate through time, shaping the culture and identity of a people, allowing players to explore and learn from the stories, keeping them alive in their imagination.
