Abstract

This paper presents an educational game to assist in the teaching of financial education, contemplating the content on the identification of banknotes and coins in the Brazilian Monetary System. The game, called Dominó Monetário, is based on the idea of the traditional Dominoes game and was developed for a web platform. It has two difficulty levels (easy and hard) in which the player is challenged to play against the computer, an agent implemented with heuristic search algorithms. As the game addresses the monetary value of domino tiles, savings were added to store this value. Thus, when the game ends, the monetary value of the savings is added to the winner's savings and deducted from the savings of the player who lost the round.

Keywords: education game, financial education, search algorithm
