If the server 3 periodically updates the game field, the server 3 may provide the terminal device 10 with a new game field every time it creates it. This allows users to enjoy new game fields that are regularly updated.

One feature of the game of the embodiment is that a battle game is included in a quest implemented in a board game format. By winning the battle game, a reward for clearing the quest is obtained, so the battle game is an important game element for clearing the quest.

Before starting the quest, the user opens a menu screen and organizes a team.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a menu screen. When the operation accepting unit 22 accepts a menu screen display instruction from the user, the menu image generating unit 38 generates a menu screen and displays it on the output unit 16 . On the menu screen 90, selection items such as "formation of board team", "formation of battle team", and "list of characters" are displayed. Before starting the quest, the user organizes a board team that participates in the board game and a battle team that participates in the battle game.

First, the user selects “organize board team” on the menu screen 90 .
FIG. 5 shows an example of a board team formation screen. The board team formation unit 28 displays on the output unit 16 a board team formation screen 100 for forming a board team to participate in the board game and for selecting a plurality of player characters.

A team member selection area 104 is an area for selecting a plurality of characters that form a board team. In one embodiment, the board team consists of four characters. A piece character selection area 102 is an area for selecting a piece character to represent the four characters and move on the squares in the game field. Therefore, the character selected in the piece character selection area 102 is always selected in the team member selection area 104 as well.

When the user taps the automatic button 106 , a piece character and another character are automatically selected, and character icons are displayed in the piece character selection area 102 and the team member selection area 104 . At this time, automatic organization may be performed according to parameters. Note that when the user taps the character icon, a list of characters owned by the user is displayed, and the character that the user wants to add to the board team can be selected.

Each character is set with "earnings rate", "merchandise discount rate", and "potential performance" as board game parameters.
The "return rate" is a parameter relating to the recovery rate for the purchase cost obtained when the timing of billing comes when an item called a symbol is purchased in a quest.
The "merchandise discount rate" is a parameter relating to the discount rate when purchasing an article or the like.
The 'game power' is a parameter for determining the number of dice that can be used in a dice game when the piece character lands on the same square as the opponent's character.
These parameter values are updated as you level up.

The board game control unit 26 reflects the integrated value obtained by integrating the parameter values of the plurality of player characters of the board team in the game parameters used in the board game. In other words, each character has parameter values of "earning rate", "merchandise discount rate", and "potential performance". Integrated values are used as game parameters.

In the board team formation screen 100, the integrated value display area 110 displays the integrated value obtained by integrating the parameter values of the four characters. In other words, the "total profit rate" is an integrated value obtained by integrating the "profit rates" of the four characters, and the "total product discount rate" is an integrated value obtained by integrating the "product discount rates" of the four characters. The "total game power" indicates an integrated value obtained by integrating the "game power" of the four characters. Here, the board game control unit 26 adds the parameter values of all the characters as the integration process, but the integrated value may be calculated by other calculations.

If the total rate of return is 30% and the player character purchases an item for 1000 coins, the board game control unit 26 adds 30% of the 1000 coins, that is, 300 coins to the player character's total assets at the timing of the checkout. to add. So the higher the total rate of return, the more coins you can collect.

If the total product discount rate is 1%, the player character can purchase goods and items at a 1% discount. Therefore, the higher the total product discount rate, the more affordable the purchase of goods and items will be.

If the total winning score is 250, then the number of dice that can be used for the dice scoring match is three. A dice roll game occurs when two piece characters land on the same square, and the game is won by the total number of rolls when each rolls one or more dice. The number of dice that can be used here is the number obtained by adding 1 to the integer quotient obtained by dividing the total winning power by 100. In this case, since the integer quotient obtained by dividing 250 by 100 is 2, 3 obtained by adding 1 to the integer quotient is the number of dice that can be used in the dice roll game. In the dice roll game, since the total number of rolls is the number of rolls, it is advantageous to roll more dice.

As described above, the board game control unit 26 of the embodiment displays the integrated value displayed in the integrated value display area 110 in order to reflect the integrated value obtained by integrating the parameter values of the plurality of player characters of the board team to the game parameters used in the board game. It is preferable to organize the board team so that the combined value is high. For example, when the user wants to challenge an opponent with a dice game, the user selects a plurality of characters so that the total game of the dice will be high. When the user taps the decision button 108, the organization of the board deck is confirmed.

Next, the user causes the output unit 16 to display the menu screen 90 and selects "Battle team formation".
FIG. 6 shows an example of a battle team formation screen. The battle team formation unit 32 displays on the output unit 16 a battle team formation screen 120 for forming a battle team to participate in the battle game and for selecting a plurality of player characters.

The team member selection area 122 is an area for selecting a plurality of characters forming a battle team. In one embodiment, a battle team consists of four characters. A battle attribute is assigned to each character, and the battle attribute is an element that determines compatibility with the battle attribute of the opponent character. Therefore, the user selects a plurality of characters considering not only battle parameter values but also battle attributes.

When the user taps the Random button 124 , a character is automatically selected and displayed in the team member selection area 122 . At this time, automatic organization may be performed according to the battle attribute. When the user taps the character icon, a list of characters owned by the user is displayed, and the character that the user wants to add to the battle team can be selected. For each character, "HP", "attack power", and "speed" are set as parameters for the battle game. These parameter values are updated as you level up. When the user taps the decision button 108, the formation of the battle deck is confirmed.

After the formation of the board deck and the battle deck is completed, the board game control unit 26 determines the movement of the player characters of the board team so that the player characters move on the squares in accordance with instructions from the user within the game field. to control the board game. When executing the multi-play mode, the board game control unit 26 transmits the operation information of the player character to the other terminal device 10 via the server 3, and transmits the operation information of the operation of the character by the other user to the other terminal device 10 via the server 3. It is received from the terminal device 10 . The board game control unit 26 moves the piece characters within the game field, and the game image generation unit 34 renders the space of the game field where the piece characters exist, generates game images to be provided to the user, and generates game sounds. A unit 36 generates game sounds.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a board game screen. The user operates the movement of the piece character. When his turn comes, the piece character rolls the dice and moves the squares by the number of the rolled dice. The outcome of the dice is determined by lottery. At this time, the board game control unit 26 displays the squares that can be reached by the number of the rolled numbers in a manner different from the other squares. For example, when the number that comes up is "3", one or more squares that are three ahead may be illuminated and displayed. This allows the user to easily recognize the squares on which they can stop. The user may determine the destination of the piece character by tapping the illuminated squares.

A function is assigned to each square, and the user moves the piece character to a square where the game can proceed advantageously. The board game control unit 26 implements the function of the square on which the piece character has landed. For example, if it is a square for acquiring exclusive currency, the board game control unit 26 provides the piece character with the exclusive currency. At this time, a mini game may be played to determine the amount of dedicated currency, and the amount may be determined based on the results of the mini game.

The battle game control unit 30 controls a battle game in which a player character of a battle team fights another character when a predetermined battle condition is satisfied during execution of the board game. Specifically, the battle game control unit 30 causes the input unit 12 to display the game screen of the battle game on condition that the player character has landed on a specific square (battle square) in the board game.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a battle game screen. In the battle game, an opponent character to be attacked is designated, and the player character attacks the designated opponent character. At this time, it is preferable that the user designates the opponent character to be attacked in consideration of the compatibility of attributes between the player character and the opponent character. When you tap the AT button, the battle will be automatically carried out. The battle game control unit 30 controls the battle game, the game image generation unit 34 renders the battle space to generate game images to be provided to the user, and the game sound generation unit 36 generates game sounds. The battle game control unit 30 notifies the board game control unit 26 of the result of the battle game. If the board game control unit 26 wins the battle game, the player character is rewarded with an advantage in clearing the quest.

The board game control unit 26 starts a dice game when the piece character stops on the square where the opponent's character has stopped. The board game control unit 26 calculates the total winning power of each board team, determines the number of dice, and determines the numbers of the determined number of dice by lottery. The game image generating unit 34 displays the dice so as to have the determined number on the game screen of the outcome game. The board game control unit 26 compares the sum of the numbers of the piece characters and the sum of the numbers of the opponent characters to determine victory or defeat. The result of winning or losing is given as a reward for clearing the quest.

The game program of the embodiment implements a pseudo-board game incorporating battle game elements. In a game, strengthening a character is an element for advancing the game advantageously. By providing a board game and a battle game in one game program, the user can obtain parameters for the board game and parameters for the battle game. You can get the fun of enhancing both parameters. For example, the user may completely separate a board game character and a battle game character and train each of them, or may strengthen the parameters of both characters with whom the user is attached.
