Resumen
A partnership between Brazilian and French professors resulted in the design of a hybrid board game composed of one physical board, a few physical cards, and one application to engage undergraduate students to review the reactions of organic compounds in fun and collaborative ways. It is a multilingual game (English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French) and can be downloaded free-of-charge. Students must get six knowledge jewels to win the game by answering random true or false questions from a database with 600 statements. Students from both countries played and evaluated the game, and the results revealed that the game is helpful as a complementary didactic tool to aid students in reviewing the organic reactions.
