[overall structure]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a game system in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system includes player terminals 1 prepared for each of game players A and B, and a game server 2. The player terminal 1 and the game server 2 can be connected to a communication line N and can communicate with each other.

The communication line N means a communication path that allows data communication. In other words, the communication line N includes a dedicated line (dedicated cable) for direct connection, a LAN using Ethernet (registered trademark), etc., as well as communication networks such as a telephone communication network, a cable network, and the Internet. /Regardless of wireless.

The player terminal 1 is a computer that can execute a game program, and can connect to a communication line N via a wireless communication base station or the like to perform data communication with the game server 2. The player terminal 1 is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a portable game device, a stationary home game device, an arcade game device, a personal computer, a tablet computer, a controller for a stationary home game device, or the like. Basically, there are a plurality of player terminals 1, and each player terminal operates the player terminal 1.

The game server 2 is a server system configured to include one or more server devices, storage devices, and the like. The game server 2 provides various services for operating the game of this embodiment, such as managing data necessary for operating the game and distributing game programs and data necessary for executing the game on the player terminal 1. It can be performed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the device configuration of a smartphone, which is an example of the player terminal 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the player terminal 1 includes a display 11, a touch operation panel 12 that is integrated with the display 11, and a speaker 13. The player terminal 1 is also provided with a control board, a built-in battery, a power button, a volume control button, etc. (not shown).

The control board is equipped with various microprocessors such as a CPU, GPU, and DSP, various IC memories such as ASIC, VRAM, RAM, and ROM, and a wireless communication module for wirelessly communicating with a mobile phone base station. Furthermore, a so-called I/F circuit (interface circuit), such as a driver circuit for the touch operation panel 12, is mounted on the control board. Each of the elements mounted on these control boards is electrically connected to each other via a bus circuit or the like, and are connected so that data can be read and written and signals can be transmitted and received.

In this embodiment, the game system as described above uses a first game element associated with the first player A and a first game element associated with the second player B who is an opponent. An example applied to a competitive game will be explained.

Here, the first game element is a virtual or physical item that is the embodiment of a character that appears in the game. Examples of virtual or tangible items include a virtual card displayed on a computer, a physical card, and the like. In the game to be executed, the behavior of characters that can appear through the use of cards shall be controlled based on the operations of the players (including non-players operated by the computer), and the actions of the characters that can be made to appear through the use of cards shall be controlled based on the operations of the players (including non-players operated by the computer). The following description assumes that a design of a character (an image showing the external appearance of the character) is attached.

It goes without saying that the game elements of the game to be executed are not limited to those configured to allow identification of characters, but may also be configured to specify items, effects to be activated, and the like. The article is not limited to a card, as long as it is configured such that a character associated with the article can be identified. The article may be a shaped object such as a figure having the appearance of a character, for example.

The deck is composed of a predetermined number of first game elements. For example, when the first game element is a virtual card displayed on a computer, the deck is a group of cards made up of a predetermined number of cards. In this embodiment, the settable deck includes cards selected by the player. Furthermore, the deck that can be set in this embodiment includes cards that are presented without any operation by the player. The cards presented without the player's operation include cards selected independently of the player. For example, cards selected by a computer such as the game server 2 are also included. In this embodiment, the number of cards constituting a deck that can be used in the game is determined as a specified number (for example, 40 cards). The player terminal 1 and the game server 2 allow the game to proceed on condition that the deck contains a prescribed number of cards (for example, 40). However, the prescribed number of cards in the deck is not limited to 40, and may be any other number.

Furthermore, in the competitive game to which this embodiment is applied, a second game element different from the first game element is added. Although the second game element is a character like the first game element, it does not necessarily need to be associated with a virtual or tangible item.

The second game element uses the first game element owned by the player in the game. Using the first game element includes determining the selection or action of the first game element within the game. If the first game element is a card, for example, the second game element autonomously or spontaneously determines the selection or action of the card held by the player in a battle within the game. In other words, like the functions of a non-player operated by a computer, the player performs an operation similar to the selection of the first game element or the determination of an action, etc., performed by the player.

However, while a conventional non-player operated by a computer does not use the first game element owned by the player, the second game element in this embodiment uses the first game element owned by the player. It's different. The second game element of this embodiment may be configured to use the first game element owned by the player together with the player to compete against a competing player. The player and the second game element fighting together means, for example, that the player and the second game element form one team and compete against another player using the first game element owned by the player. . The players forming one team and the second game element may alternately use the same first game element. Further, when playing against another player using the first game element owned by the player, advice on the match may be provided to the player. Furthermore, when a player composes a deck, advice (suggestion) regarding deck composition may be provided.

Further, the second game element has character information that changes based on predetermined conditions regarding the game. The character information indicates attributes of the second game element. This character information influences the autonomous or spontaneous behavior of the second game element (use of the first game element). In other words, character information is the abilities and personality of the second game element, and the autonomous or spontaneous actions (use of the first game element) of the second game element are caused by differences in abilities and personality. It means that it is different. This character information changes as the game progresses, just as a person grows through various experiences. For example, character information changes by achieving a predetermined condition regarding the game.

The above-described autonomous or spontaneous actions by the second game element are performed based on information provided by the AI function included in the game server 2. This AI function is an AI function obtained by machine learning using the game progress contents and results of many competitive games as training data. Typical machine learning methods include deep learning and reinforcement learning, but are not limited to these.
[Summary of game content]
Next, to help understand the explanation of the embodiment, an outline of the game will be explained using the display screen of the display 11 of the player terminal 1.

Conversely, by touching and sliding a card displayed in the deck area 32 with a finger to the held card area 31, a card can be removed from the deck. In this way, the player constructs (creates) a desired deck. Furthermore, when organizing a deck, you can receive advice (suggestions) regarding deck creation from your buddy, and set up your deck based on this advice. Details of the deck formation process based on advice from the buddy will be described later.

In competitive play (battle) using a deck, the outcome of the battle is decided against the opponent using the character's ability parameter values and card attribute settings defined in the cards that make up the deck (deck cards). . A battle can be started by selecting the battle menu (touch operation) from the home screen displayed after logging in.

In the battle, player A's turn and opponent player B's turn are executed alternately. Each turn consists of a standby phase in which cards from the deck are placed in the player's own player area such as the field, a card use preparation phase in which other deck cards are prepared in order to use the placed deck cards, and a card usage preparation phase in which the player It consists of a plurality of phases, such as a battle phase in which an opponent player or an opponent player's card is attacked using deck cards placed in an area.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen display displayed on the display 11 of the player terminal 1 in the standby phase or card usage preparation phase of the competitive game. The screen of the display 11 includes a first area 41 where cards of player A and the like are placed, and a second area 42 where cards and the like of competing player B are placed. Further, at the boundary between the first area 41 and the second area 42, operation information 43 is displayed that displays information on operations that can be currently executed.

Each of the first area 41 and the second area 42 includes a field area 44 where five cards (hand) selected from the own deck are placed, and a field area 44 where five cards (hand) selected from the own deck are placed, and a field area 44 where the actions or effects of the cards placed on the field are activated. A base area 45 where cards to be consumed (action cost) are placed, a first object 46 that influences (force) the activation effect of the card and has life (HP), and a second object 46 that also has life (HP). and a force area 48 in which an object 47 is placed.

In the battle phase, as shown in FIG. 6, player A touches the card to be used for attack with his finger and drags it to the opponent's card, first or second object 46, 47 to be attacked. The card to be used in the attack, the card of the competing player B to be attacked, and the first or second objects 46, 47 are determined. As a result, player A's attack begins.

Player A and his opponent, Player B, alternately repeat these turns consisting of a series of phases, and the winner is determined by either player's life becoming 0 or the number of cards in the deck becoming 0. is determined.

You may. Further, the advice information from the game server 2 may include information regarding cards not in possession.

If the "Adopt" button is pressed when the proposal displayed on the second or fourth advice screen includes cards that you do not own, a message will be displayed stating that the deck contains cards that you do not own. The information may be displayed, and the deck may be generated and memorized. Decks containing unowned cards cannot be used in game battles. However, it is not limited to this, and may be used. Furthermore, a deck containing unowned cards may be made impossible to generate.

The card setting section 72 manages cards held by the player. Further, in the standby phase and the card use preparation phase, the cards and hands to be placed in each field are set from the deck selected by the player. Additionally, information regarding the cards and hands placed in each field during the match (card setting information) is generated and transmitted to the game server 2 via the communication unit 55.

The action determining unit 73 determines card selection and card action by the player's touch operation, generates action selection information that is information on card selection or action, and sends the action selection information to the game server via the communication unit 55. Send to 2.

Next, the configuration of the game server 2 will be explained. FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the game server 2. As shown in FIG.

The game server 2 includes a storage section 91, a processing section 92, and a communication section 93.

The storage unit 91 stores system programs and game programs. The system program is a program for realizing the basic functions of the game server 2 as a computer. The game program is a program for causing the processing section 92 to function as a player management section 101, a game management section 102, a card provision management section 103, a card operation AI processing section 104, and a deck AI processing section 105.

Furthermore, the recording unit 91 stores user information data and card data. The user information data is basic data of players participating in the game, and records user information data for each player. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of user information data. In the example of FIG. 16, the information includes the player's user identification information, deck setting data, held card information, held item information, and balance information (in-game money). Note that FIG. 16 shows an example of user information data, and is not limited to this.

The card data is card data of all cards used in this game. Basically, data similar to the card setting data shown in FIG. 8 described above is stored for all cards used in the game.

The processing section 91 includes a player management section 101, a game management section 102, a card provision management section 103, a card operation AI processing section 104, and a deck AI processing section 105.

The player management unit 101 uses user information data to manage accounts, game progress, etc. for each connected player terminal 1. Further, the player management unit 101 receives information regarding updating of user information data from the player terminal 1, and updates the corresponding user information data.

The game management unit 102 receives card setting information, action selection information, etc. from the player terminal 1, performs a match processing using the card setting information, action selection information, and card data, and outputs the match results.

The card provision management section 103 reads card information from the storage section 93 and transmits it to the player terminal 1 in response to a card provision request from the player terminal 1 . When a card purchase request is received from the player terminal 1, after payment of the price is confirmed, data corresponding to the card setting data is read from the storage section 93 and transmitted to the player terminal 1. Further, information on the cards acquired by the player is supplied to the player management section 101. The price may be paid, for example, by subtracting the price from the balance (in-game currency or point balance) in the user information stored in the storage unit, or by other payment methods.

The card operation AI processing unit 104 has an algorithm obtained by machine learning teacher data such as the contents of game progress and the results of many competitive games. This algorithm is an algorithm according to the buddy's character information. A typical machine learning method is deep learning, but it is not limited to this. The card operation AI processing unit 104 inputs the card setting information transmitted from the player terminal 1, the character information of the buddy of the player of the player terminal 1, etc., and outputs the card operation information of the buddy in the situation of the card setting information. Note that the algorithm differs depending on the buddy's character information, so even if the card setting information sent from the player terminal 1 is the same, it is possible to output different card operation information if the player's buddy's character information is different. There is sex.

The deck AI processing unit 105 uses information indicating the cards included in the deck selected by the player as input data so that the configuration becomes closer to one of a plurality of pre-registered decks (reference decks). It has an algorithm that outputs optimized deck information. This algorithm may be an algorithm for finding a solution to an optimization problem, such as a genetic algorithm, but is not limited to this, and other algorithms may also be used. To simplify the explanation, for example, in the case of card compensation, the card selected by the player (player selection card) is compared with the cards that make up the standard deck, and the cards included in the standard deck are compared. It is also possible to find a card that is not included in the player selection card and supplement the player selection card with the corresponding card. When selecting a card to be supplemented from among the cards in the player's possession, there is a possibility that the corresponding card does not exist among the cards in the player's possession. In such a case, a card whose parameter value or card attribute is similar to the corresponding card may be selected from among the cards in possession instead. In addition, in the case of card exchange, the 40 player selection cards are compared with the cards that make up the standard deck, and the player selection cards that match the cards that make up the standard deck are left as they are, and the players that do not match are selected. Only the number of exchangeable cards (for example, the upper limit is three) may be selected from among the cards and exchanged with cards constituting the reference deck. When selecting a standard deck card to be exchanged from cards owned by the player, there is a possibility that the corresponding card does not exist among the cards owned by the player. In such a case, a card whose parameter value or card attribute is similar to the corresponding card may be selected from among the cards in possession instead.

The deck AI processing section 105 includes an exchange card search section 106 and a supplementary card search section 107.

When the exchange card search unit 106 receives a deck advice request regarding card exchange from the player terminal 1, it inputs information on the 40 cards (player selection cards) received from the player terminal 1, and selects one of the player selection cards. A deck (recommended deck) to be proposed to the player is requested by selecting and exchanging with other cards. The recommended deck is created so that its configuration is closer to one of a plurality of reference decks registered in advance. Note that the number of exchangeable cards may be limited to less than a predetermined number (for example, three cards, etc.). The exchange card search unit 106 creates two recommended decks using the following two methods. First, a recommended deck (first recommended deck) is created by selecting a candidate card to be exchanged with any of the player selection cards from cards owned by the user (user information data in the storage unit 91). The other method is to select a candidate card to be exchanged for one of the player selection cards from among all the cards used in the game (card data in the storage unit 91) and create a recommended deck (second recommended deck). create. The exchange card search unit 106 then generates first advice information indicating cards to be exchanged to create the first recommended deck, and second advice information indicating cards to be exchanged to create the second recommended deck. The advice information including the information is transmitted to the player terminal 1 via the communication unit 93. The first advice information includes card identification information of a card to be exchanged selected from the player selection cards and a card selected from the player's cards. The second advice information includes card identification information of a card to be exchanged selected from the player selection cards and a card selected from all cards used in the game. Note that when the second advice information includes a card that the player does not possess (an unowned card), information indicating that the card is an unowned card may also be provided.

When the supplementary card search unit 107 receives a deck advice request regarding card supplementation from the player terminal 1, it inputs the information of the 1 to 39 cards (player selection cards) received from the player terminal 1, and selects the cards constituting the deck. A recommended deck to be proposed to the player is obtained by supplementing the missing number of cards with respect to the specified number (40). The recommended deck is created so that its configuration is closer to one of a plurality of reference decks registered in advance. The exchange card search unit 106 creates two recommended decks using the following two methods. First, a recommended deck (third recommended deck) is created by selecting candidate cards to be supplemented from among cards owned by the user (user information data in the storage unit 91). The other is to select a candidate card to be supplemented from among all the cards (card data in the storage unit 91) used in the game to generate a recommended deck (fourth recommended deck). The supplementary card search unit 107 then generates third advice information indicating cards to be added to create the third recommended deck, and fourth advice information indicating cards to be added to create the fourth recommended deck. The advice information including the information is transmitted to the player terminal 1 via the communication unit 93. The third advice information includes card identification information of a card selected from cards owned by the player. The fourth advice information includes card identification information of a card selected from all cards used in the game. Note that when the fourth advice information includes an unowned card, information indicating that the corresponding card is an unowned card may also be provided.

The communication unit 93 connects to the communication line N to realize communication.
[Operation of each device]
FIG. 17 is a sequence diagram of the entire system including the player terminal 1 and the game server 2.
In this system, the player terminal 1 performs a deck advice request process to request advice from a buddy regarding the deck being assembled. By executing this deck advice request process, a deck advice request is sent to the game server 2. The game server 2 receives a deck advice request from the player terminal 1 and performs deck advice generation processing to generate advice information regarding deck composition. By executing this advice generation process, advice information is transmitted to the player terminal 1. The player terminal 1 receives advice information from the game server 2, and performs deck advice display processing to display advice from a buddy. Next, details of each of these processes will be explained.

The deck advice request process by the player terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 18.
For example, after logging in to the player terminal 1 using the user ID "1001", the player selects "Deck Edit" from the menu screen. The player terminal 1 displays a deck editing screen using the card setting data and deck setting data corresponding to the user ID "1001". For example, the player performs an input operation of pressing the deck advice button with 35 cards arranged in the deck area 31 of the deck editing screen (FIG. 3). By pressing this deck advice button, deck advice request processing is started.

The deck setting unit 71 of the player terminal 1 determines whether the number of cards arranged in the deck area 31 is 0 or 41 or more (Step 101). Since 35 cards are arranged in the deck area 31 of the deck editing screen (FIG. 3) (Step 101: No), the deck setting section 71 next determines that the number of cards arranged in the deck area 31 is 40. It is determined whether or not there is a copy (Step 102).

Since the number of cards placed in the deck area 31 is 35 (Step 102: No), the deck setting unit 71 sets the card identification information of the 35 cards placed in the deck area 31 and the user ID "1001". A deck advice request regarding card identification information supplementation (filling in the blanks) including the following is sent to the game server 2 (Step 103), and the present process ends.

Note that if you perform an input operation to press the deck advice button with 40 cards placed in the deck area 31 of the deck editing screen (Figure 3) (Step 101: No, Step 102: Yes), the deck settings will be changed. The unit 71 transmits a deck advice request regarding exchange to the game server 2, including the card identification information of the 40 cards arranged in the deck area 31 and the user ID "1001" (Step 104), and ends this process. do.

Further, in Step 101, if the number of cards arranged in the deck area 31 is 0 or 41 or more, the deck setting unit 71 displays an error message (Step 105) and ends this process. .

Next, deck advice generation processing by the game server 2 will be explained with reference to FIG. 19. This process is started by receiving a deck advice request from the player terminal 1. Here, it is assumed that the game server 2 receives a deck advice request regarding compensation (filling in the blanks) from the player terminal 1 together with the card identification information of 35 cards and the user ID "1001".

The deck AI processing unit 105 of the game server 2 determines whether the deck advice request is related to exchange or compensation (filling in the blanks) (Step 201).

In this example, since the deck advice request is a deck advice request regarding compensation (filling in the blanks) (step 201: "Compensation (filling in the blanks)"), the compensation card search unit 107 performs the following for the received 35 cards (player selection cards): By selecting and supplementing the number of cards that are insufficient to the specified number of cards in the deck (40 cards) from the card information held in the user information data corresponding to the user ID "1001" in the storage section 91, the number of cards that are insufficient for the specified number of cards in the deck (40 cards) can be supplemented. A combination of cards (third recommended deck) that more closely approximates the configuration of the reference deck is determined (Step 202). In this example, the number of missing cards is 5 (40 - 35), so the supplementary card search unit 107 selects 5 cards from the cards possessed by the user ID "1001" as candidates.

Further, the supplementary card search unit 107 selects cards from among the card data in the storage unit 91 that are insufficient to the specified number of cards (40 cards) in the deck from among the received 35 cards (player selection cards). By supplementing, a combination of cards (fourth recommended deck) that more closely resembles the configuration of the pre-registered deck is obtained (Step 203). In this example, the number of missing cards is five, so the supplementary card search unit 107 selects five cards as candidates from all the cards used in the game.

The supplementary card search unit 107 receives third advice information indicating candidate cards to be supplemented to create the third recommended deck obtained in Step 202 and candidates to be supplemented to create the fourth recommended deck obtained in Step 203. Advice information regarding card compensation, including fourth advice information indicating the card, is generated and transmitted to the player terminal 1 that requested the advice (Step 204). This completes the deck advice generation process.

Note that when the game server 2 receives a deck advice request regarding exchange together with the card identification information of 40 cards and the user ID "1001", in Step 201, the deck advice request is a deck advice request regarding exchange. It is determined that In this case, the exchange card search unit 106 selects one of the 40 received cards (player selection cards) and one of the cards indicated by the held card information of the user information data corresponding to the user ID “1001” in the storage unit 91. , to find a combination of cards (first recommended deck) that more closely resembles the configuration of the pre-registered reference deck (Step 205).

In addition, the exchange card search unit 106 exchanges any of the 40 received cards (player selection cards) with any of the cards indicated by the card data in the storage unit 91, thereby creating a standard deck registered in advance. A combination of cards (second recommended deck) that more closely approximates the configuration is found (Step 206).

The exchange card search unit 106 provides first advice information indicating candidate cards to be exchanged to create the first recommended deck obtained in Step 205 and candidates to be exchanged to create the second recommended deck obtained in Step 206. Advice information regarding card exchange, including second advice information indicating the card, is generated and transmitted to the player terminal 1 (Step 207). This completes the deck advice generation process.

Next, advice display processing by the player terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 20.
This process is started by receiving advice information from the game server 2. Here, it is assumed that the player terminal 1 has received advice information regarding compensation (filling in the blanks).

The deck setting unit 71 of the player terminal 1 determines whether the received advice information is related to card exchange or card compensation (filling in the blank) (Step 301). In this example, since the received advice information relates to card compensation, the deck setting unit 71 displays the third advice screen (FIG. 12) showing the content of the third advice information regarding card compensation (Step 302). In the example of FIG. 12, the buddy proposes card G, card H, card I, card J, and card K as candidate cards to supplement the card selected by the player.

Note that when the received advice information is related to card exchange (Step 301), the deck setting unit 71 displays a first advice screen (FIG. 10) showing the content of the first advice information related to card exchange (Step 303).

The third advice screen includes an "adopt button" that the player presses to accept the advice, a "request button" that the player presses to request further suggestions, and a "request button" that the player presses to request further suggestions. A "cancel button" to be pressed is also provided. For example, the player presses a "request button" to receive further advice.

When the "re-request button" is pressed on the third advice screen (Step 401), the deck setting unit 71 determines whether the advice information received from the game server 2 is related to card exchange or card compensation (filling in the blank). (Step 402). In this example, since the received advice information is related to card compensation, the deck setting unit 71 displays the fourth advice screen (FIG. 13) showing the content of the fourth advice information related to card compensation (Step 403). In the example of FIG. 13, the buddy proposes card G, card P, card I, card J, and card Q as candidate cards to supplement the card selected by the player. Of these, card P and card Q are unpossessed cards (cards that the player does not possess), so their card images are displayed in gray.

Further, in Step 402, if the received advice information is related to card exchange, the deck setting unit 71 displays a second advice screen (FIG. 11) showing the content of the second advice information related to card exchange (Step 404).

The fourth advice screen includes an "adopt button" that the player presses to accept the advice, a "back button" to return to the third advice screen, and a "return button" that the player presses if the player does not accept the advice. "Cancel button" is provided. For example, the player presses the "adopt button" to accept the proposal displayed on the fourth advice screen.

When the "recruit button" is pressed on the fourth advice screen (FIG. 13) (Step 405), the deck setting section 71 generates deck setting data corresponding to the displayed proposal content and stores it in the storage section 51. (Step 406). For example, card identification information of the five cards (card G, card P, card I, card J, card Q) in FIG. 13 and the 35 cards that the player previously placed in the deck area 31 on the deck editing screen. Deck setting data using the above is generated and stored in the storage unit 51. At this time, since the deck contains cards that are not owned, the deck setting section 71 displays a message that the deck contains cards that are not owned, or a message that the deck that includes cards that are not owned cannot be used in battle. It's okay. Then, the deck setting unit 71 transmits the generated deck setting data and the player's user identification information to the game server 2 together with a deck creation completion notification (Step 407), and ends this process. Note that before generating the deck setting data, a confirmation screen may be displayed that displays the cards that make up the deck and allows the player to confirm the cards.

Further, when the adoption button is pressed on the third advice screen (Step 401), the deck setting section 71 generates deck setting data corresponding to the displayed proposal content and stores it in the storage section 51 (Step 406). In this case, all the cards constituting the created deck become cards owned by the player. Then, the generated deck setting data and the player's user identification information are transmitted to the game server 2 together with a deck creation completion notification (Step 407), and the present process ends.

Note that before generating the deck setting data, a confirmation screen may be displayed that displays the cards that make up the deck and allows the player to confirm the cards.

Furthermore, if the "cancel button" is pressed on the third advice screen (Step 401) or the "cancel button" is pressed on the fourth advice screen (Step 406), the deck setting unit 71 performs this processing. end. In addition, when the "back button" is pressed on the fourth advice screen (Step 401), the corresponding action is taken depending on whether the received advice information is about card exchange or about card compensation (filling in the blank) (Step 301). A first advice screen is displayed (Step 302).

This concludes the explanation of the advice display process.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the game is configured to include a first game element (card) selected by the player and a first game element (card) that is presented without any operation by the player. Since the player can set up a deck that includes a more suitable combination of cards while reflecting the player's intentions, it is possible to create a deck that includes a more suitable combination of cards. Thereby, it is possible to provide a game that is highly interesting to the user.

[Modified example]
In the embodiment described above, the game server 2 transmits both the first advice information and the second advice information or both the third advice information and the fourth advice information to the player terminal 1, but the invention is not limited to this. One side's advice information (first advice information or second advice information in the case of card exchange) is generated and sent to the player terminal 1, and when the re-request button is pressed on the player terminal 1, the other side's advice information is generated and sent to the player terminal 1. The game server 2 may generate the advice information and send it to the player terminal 1.

In this embodiment, both first advice information and second advice information are transmitted from the game server 2 to the player terminal 1 as advice information regarding card exchange. The player terminal 1 preferentially presents the first advice information to the player among the two pieces of advice information received. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second advice information may be presented with priority. Additionally, both the third advice information and the fourth advice information are transmitted from the game server 2 to the player terminal 1 as advice information regarding card compensation. The player terminal 1 preferentially presents the third advice information among the two pieces of advice information received. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second advice information may be presented with priority.

Further, the player terminal 1 may allow the player to adopt a part of the proposed content of the presented advice information. For example, when a proposal indicating an exchange of three cards is displayed as advice information regarding card exchange, the player selects two cards (two cards to be removed from the deck area, two cards to be added instead) that the player wants to exchange. When the selected two cards are selected and the adoption button is pressed, the player terminal 1 may perform a process of exchanging the selected two cards to create a deck. In addition, when the proposal content indicating the compensation of three cards is displayed as advice information regarding card compensation, if the player selects two cards to compensate and presses the adoption button, the player terminal 1 selects two cards to compensate and presses the adoption button. A card group may be created by supplementing the two cards. In this case, the number of cards in the group is 39, which does not meet the specified number of cards in the deck, so the player terminal 1 displays the deck editing screen and allows the player to select the remaining card from among the cards in his possession. Alternatively, a card provision screen may be displayed to allow the user to select from cards provided subject to payment of a price or the like.
