In this article, we revolve around the conception of Nós, an educational card game that seeks to assist the teaching of Portuguese as a Host Language to refugees and immigrants in vulnerable situations. The card game is semi-cooperative and its main objective is building, along with other players, sentences with full meaning according to the Brazilian Portuguese language, as spoken by a native. The design process consists of exploring, defining, developing, prototyping and testing. Our first conclusions show the importance of the designer as a socially engaged agent, capable of making changes, and they point to the necessity of more tests of real use and graphic adjustments. This project was developed in collaboration with Núcleo de Ensino e Pesquisa em Português para Estrangeiros-NEPPE.
