Since Basic Education, there has been a dissociation between learning and pleasure, that is, in people’s imagination, learning is boring. In Higher Education, it is no different; in undergraduate courses, for example, methodologies are discussed that approach mathematics through play, but these are rarely used in the disciplines themselves. This work aims to contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning in the History of Mathematics subject of a Mathematics Degree course. The focus of this work is on the development of the design of a pedagogical digital game, which provides the learning of mathematical content in a pleasant way and based on the History of Mathematics. Initially, studies were carried out on game design and pedagogical games, as well as on the History of Mathematics. Subsequently, and from the theoretical framework investigated, the game design was elaborated. The developed design was thought for a digital game, but, with some adaptations, it can be physically made and used in the classroom. As a result of the research, it is expected that the game will contribute positively to the learning of historically constituted mathematics content.
