Our history
Glyptodon Studio: the heart of Brazilian play
Crafting Worlds. Weaving Stories.
At Glyptodon Studio, we are a dedicated team driven by a single passion: developing modern board games with a uniquely Brazilian soul.
What does “Brazilian-made” mean to us?
In Brazil, creativity is more than a talent: it is a way of life. The drive to stand out in a vibrant world forces us to think outside the box at every turn. This is why we reimagine themes and mechanics in bold, innovative ways. When you sit down to play a Glyptodon game, you aren’t just playing a board game; you are experiencing a new frontier of innovation.
Our greatest strength lies in our diversity. Brazil is a vast land shaped by a beautiful mosaic of Indigenous, African, and European roots. This cultural amalgam created something entirely new—a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Glyptodon Studio was founded to merge this boundless creativity and rich diversity into games that matter. We don’t just make products; we deliver unforgettable experiences for you, your friends, and your family.
Step into our universes. Let’s play a story that defies imagination.

Quest Inc. e Me Enganei
Working at Glyptodon and subsequently having games published by the studio has been a stroke of luck and a privilege, allowing me to see both sides of the coin: how the company operates from the inside, working with an author’s concept, and being the author placing my work into the studio’s hands for development. I…
1890 e Street Art
Working with Glyptodon (or “Glyp,” for those in the know) has been an incredibly enriching experience. From the very beginning, with Street Art, the studio’s level of care was immediately evident to me. It was a project that required respect, as it spoke to a marginalized, vibrant, and powerful culture. Having Glyp’s support to ensure…
Phantyr
Working on the development of Phantyr in partnership with the Glyptodon Studio team has been a fantastic experience. From day one, what struck me most was the deep expertise and professionalism of everyone involved.

Marajoara
Working with Glyptodon Studio is what truly transformed me from an aspiring designer into a designer in my own right. I had a great idea for Marajoara, but lacked any design experience; the support I received from Diego and Marlon has taught me so much throughout the process. They did this without ever stifling me,…
Nevasca
The partnership with Glyptodon Studio was essential for the development of the game Nevasca to reach a new level.
