The type and number of these cards are known to each player. These cards are then shuffled and dealt randomly to the four players.

  A card with numbers 1 to 6 moves forward by the number written on the card when moving, and for example, when fighting with an opponent, roll the dice by the number written on the card. Wins and losses can be determined by the total number.

  The specific squares on the CRT screen displayed on the CRT have specific effects such as “one time off”, “you can see other people's cards”, “you can take a predetermined number of cards from others”, etc. The display which generates is described.

Next, the game screen on the CRT 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 shows an example of the card selection screen. The screen 30 is roughly divided into a selection card display unit 40 and a selected card display unit 50. In the selection card display section 40, cards 41 ..., 42 ..., 43 ..., 44 ... distributed respectively to the four players A, B, C, D are arranged in the horizontal direction. It has been. The player who currently selects the card is displayed at the top (A in FIG. 3). On the screen 30, the cards 41... Distributed to the player A in the selection stage are backside like the cards 42... 43. The contents of the card cannot be seen, but the liquid crystal screen of the visual memory 21 provided in the controller main body 20 at hand of the player A has a distributed card 41.・ ・ Is placed on the front side, so that the contents of the distributed cards can be understood only by you.

  On the other hand, a trash can icon 51 is displayed at the top of the selected card display section 50 on the screen 30 in FIG. 3, and the selected cards 52 already selected by the four players A to D are displayed for each type of card. They are arranged side by side. This allows each player to know how many cards have already been selected.

  In FIG. 3, the player A in the order of selecting a card considers the type and number of cards that are known to each player, and the cards distributed to him displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the visual memory 21. The cards 42..., 43... Distributed to the other players B to D from the contents of 41... And the contents of the selected cards displayed on the selected card display unit 50 of the screen 30. , 44... Is determined, and it is determined whether to use a card whose own content is known or another player's card that has been estimated, and the cross key 22 of the controller body 20 is pressed. By moving up, down, left and right, the selection point 45 on the screen 30 is brought to the card to be selected, and the selection can be confirmed by pressing the A button.

  On the other hand, each of the players B to D presses the X button 23 of the controller body 20 in order to reduce the probability that a specific card inferred by the player A is drawn out of his / her card while the player A selects the card. You can shuffle your cards by operating.

  After the player A selects the card of himself or another player, the players B to D select the cards in order and advance the game. The cards are not replenished until all the cards arranged in the selection card display section 40 are exhausted. The player in the selection order presses the Y button 24 of the controller body 20 to arbitrarily switch from the card selection screen shown in FIG. 3 to the awesome map screen (not shown), grasp the current position of each player, The contents of the card to be selected can be considered in consideration of the number of squares up to and the number of squares to stop along the way.

  As mentioned above, players in the order of selecting cards can choose whether to draw a safe card with their own content or to draw a guessed other's card at risk, and it is rich in gaming It will be a thing.

  It is also possible to deliberately select other players' cards other than their own and deprive other players of safe and intentional movement options. In particular, since the cards are not replenished until all players have used up, players who have used up the cards distributed to them can only choose from the cards distributed to other players, which greatly restricts the options for movement. It will be. For this reason, it is possible to enjoy the excitement of the game strategy by the battle of a plurality of players.

  Furthermore, a player who is not in the order of selecting cards operates the X button 23 of the controller body 20 to shuffle his own cards, thereby reducing the probability that a specific card guessed by the player in the selection order will be drawn. Therefore, it is possible to further enjoy the real thrill of multiplayer battles.

  Next, as another embodiment of the card sugoroku game machine of the present invention, the controller main body 20 shown in FIG. 2 that does not include the visual memory 21 can be used. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, in the selection card display section 40 of the screen 30 on the CRT 12, the cards 41... Distributed to the player A at the selection stage are arranged in the front side state. The content of the card can be seen from other players.

  In this embodiment, since the cards distributed to the player A in the selection order can be seen from other players B to D, the players B to D know the contents of the cards distributed to the player A. Therefore, it can be used as a reference when selecting a card in the order of selection. On the other hand, the other players can shuffle their cards by operating the X button 23 of the controller body 20 in order to alleviate the disadvantage caused by the opponent's grasp of the contents of their cards.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing functional blocks of the CPU. In response to the game activation instruction, the CPU 1 distributes the cards from the group of action selection cards to each player by the card distribution means 101 (step S1). Next, each player analogizes the other person's card contents from the contents of his / her distributed card group and the selected card group displayed on the screen, and determines the contents of the other person's card which is assumed to be his own card. The comparison is examined (step S2). As a result of the examination, if it is determined that the user's card is better than the card of another person, the user's card is selected (step S3). On the other hand, if it is determined that it is better to select another person's card rather than selecting one's own card stochastically, the card is selected from the other person's card (step S4). The square is advanced by the number written on the card selected by the game progression means 102, a battle, a mini game, etc. are performed according to the type of the square stopped, and the game is advanced (step S5). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the game is ended by the game end determination means 103 (step S6). If it is not ended, the process proceeds to step S7, and whether or not there is no card distributed to all by the card number determination means 104. Is determined. If there are no more cards, the process returns to step S1 to distribute the cards to each player and continue the game. On the other hand, if the card is not lost, the process returns to step S2 to continue the game. If the game end determination means 103 determines in step S6 that the game has ended, END is set.

In the above embodiment, the number of players participating in the game is four. However, there may be a plurality of players, and the number of players is not particularly limited. Moreover, it can be used not only in a form in which all the participating players gather and play in one place, but also in a form in which players at remote locations battle each other by network connection, such as a communication battle game.
Also, in this embodiment, both the type and number of cards to be distributed are known to each player, but only one of them is known, or only some of the types and number of cards are known. It can also be. Further, although the game machine has been described in the present embodiment, the game method and the game apparatus with the action determination of the present invention are not limited to this, and the action determination of other board games, RPG games, etc. It can be used for all games including elements to be performed.

  As described above, according to the present invention, each player decides whether to select the information whose contents are distributed to himself or to select the information of the estimated other players at risk. Therefore, not only can the individual intention of the player be reflected in the action, but also the game characteristics can be enhanced by using uncertain elements.

  In addition, since it is possible to deliberately select other players' information other than themselves and deprive other players of safe and intentional choices, it is possible to enjoy the best of game strategy by a multiplayer battle.
