The game will take place in the province of Pernambuco, in 1824, and the students will be protagonists of History, making decisions that will define their future within the separatist and republican movement that started in Pernambuco and gained support from the provinces of Paraíba, Rio Grande do North and Ceará.

In this way, the purpose of the game is to bring information and questions that will contribute to the elaboration of historical knowledge. Students will be able to experience, through their characters, how different social groups participated in this separatist movement. The game will bring cards that will show characters present in the movement, making the student know some agendas and fights in defense of citizenship in the History of our country. In addition, the game will mobilize concepts, with the aim of presenting to the student some transformations that have taken place in Pernambuco, as captaincy, province and state.
