André Zatz and Sergio Halaban

Brazilian game designers


Dear fellow gamer, welcome to our homepage. Unfortunately we could not translate all the
files to English. We present here at least,
some information about ourselves and our games.
Thanks for visiting!

 

Sergio Halaban and André Zatz are Brazilian game designers. They work together since 1996 and have around 30 games published in Brazil.

The authors have also designed dozens of games for other markets, like games for TV shows and games for corporate training. Among their clients we can see Coca Cola, Procter & Gamble, Diageo, Nabisco, Novartis, AES, HP and many others.

In addition, Sergio and André are part of the Zastras project, a project for a toy store franchising wich already has six stores in Brazil.

They are the authors of the book "Brinca Comigo" (Play with me), released in 2006, which is a reflection about playing and toys and their importance in a child's life.

Their first game in Europe

Their first game in Germany was Hart an der Grenze, published by Kosmos in 2006. Hart an der Grenze was recommended by the Spiel des Jahres and has also been published in Finnish and Greek. Maybe we will see in 2008 a new edition both in English and French, to be released by the Canadian Filosofia Games. The title would be "No Problemo".

Something more on their games

Their best well known game in Brazil is Floresta Encantada (Enchanted Forest), a children game which is among Brazil's best sellers. Other well known titles are Batalhas Medievais (Medieval Battles), Corrida Presidential (Presidential Campaign), Conquistadores (Conquerors) and Palavras Cruzadas (Crosswords). They have also designed many licensed games ordered by publishers using movies or characters like Hulk, Toy Story, Mickey and the Knights of the Zodiac.
