(Release player selection screen)
The release player selection screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the release player selection screen.

  When applying for a trade, it is necessary to select a player to be released in advance.

  When the player selects a menu of “selecting a released player” or “changing a released player” by operating the operation input buttons 32a to 32e and the like on the trade application screen, the terminal device 16a The CPU 42 displays a release player selection screen as shown in FIG.

  On the release player selection screen, a list of players belonging to the player's club team is displayed.

  The CPU 42 of the terminal device 16a displays a message “Select a player to be released at the time of trade and press the enter button. A player can transfer up to 2 times” on the release player selection screen. .

  The reason why the number of times that one player can transfer is limited to two is to prevent the player parameters from being excessively improved by repeating rental transfers.

  The player operates the operation input buttons 32a to 32e to adjust the cursor to a desired player name. The CPU 42 of the terminal device 16a displays player information corresponding to the player name on which the cursor is placed, for example, on the right side of the player list on the release player selection screen.

  The player can select a player to be released by performing an operation input using the operation input buttons 32a to 32e.

  When the selection of the released player is completed, the CPU 42 of the terminal device 16a switches the display screen of the monitor 26 from the released player selection screen to the trade application screen.

(Process after the trade is established)
Processing when a trade is established will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, a case where a trade is established between a player of the terminal device 16a and a player of the terminal device 16c will be described as an example.

  When the trade is established (step S38), the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a sends data on the player card 20 to be transferred (transferred) to the player of the terminal device 16c together with the card ID (identification information) of the player of the terminal device 16a. And transmitted to the terminal device 16c (step S40). The terminal device 16c receives data transmitted from the terminal device 16a.

  Moreover, CPU62 of the terminal device 16c transmits the data regarding the player card 20 handed over to the player of the terminal device 16a by trade with the card ID of the player of the terminal device 16c to the terminal device 16a through the main control unit 14 ( Step S40). The terminal device 16a receives the data transmitted from the terminal device 16c.

  In this way, data regarding the player card 20 to be traded is exchanged between the terminal device 16a and the terminal device 16c. The reason why the card ID of the IC card of the player is included in the exchanged data is to make it possible to determine whether or not it corresponds to the rental transfer.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of a part of data exchanged when a trade is established.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the exchanged data includes, for example, an exchange source card ID, trade status, player ability A, player ability B, player ability C, and the like.

  The exchange source card ID indicates the card ID of the player of the exchange source (transfer source) when the first trade is performed for the player card 20. The card ID of the exchange source player at the time of the first trade is used as the exchange source card ID when the player card 20 is returned to the exchange source player to determine that it is a rental transfer. This is to make it possible. Therefore, the exchange source card ID is not rewritten with the card ID of the exchange destination (transfer destination) player.

  The trade status indicates, for example, how many times the trade of the player card 20 is traded. When the number of times that a single player card 20 can be traded is two, if the trade status information indicates that it is the first trade, the player card 20 is already Can be traded once.

  The terminal devices 16a and 16c that have received the data of the player card 20 to be traded determine whether or not the trade of the player card 20 corresponds to a rental transfer.

  The determination as to whether or not it corresponds to the rental transfer is made by determining whether or not the exchange source card ID included in the data of the player card 20 acquired by the trade is the same as the card ID of the player's own IC card. Performed (step S41).

  When the exchange source card ID of the player card 20 and the player's own card ID are the same, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a determines that it corresponds to “rental transfer”. For example, when a player card 20 is handed over from one player to another player due to a trade performed in the past, and the player card 20 returns to one player from another player due to a further trade, As a result, the trade of the player card 20 corresponds to a rental transfer. When it corresponds to the rental transfer, a privilege such as improving the ability parameter of the player is given to the player card 20 (step S42).

  On the other hand, when the exchange card ID of the player card 20 is different from the player's own card ID, the player card 20 does not correspond to the rental transfer, and thus a privilege such as improving the player ability is not given to the player card 20. . When it does not correspond to the rental transfer, the values of the player ability and the like before performing the trade are maintained (step S43).

  In the case of rental transfer, the values of the player abilities A, B, and C for the player card 20 after the rental transfer are determined based on the following calculation formula, for example.

Player ability A = Current value of player ability A + Fixed value + Value calculated by use frequency Player ability B = Current value of player ability B + Fixed value + Value calculated by use frequency Player ability C = Player ability C = Current value + Fixed value + Value calculated based on usage frequency In this example, the case where the player's ability A, B, C is improved based on the above formula is described as an example. The player ability is not limited to three types. You may make it improve more types of player ability based on the above formulas.

  When the player ability is greatly improved by the rental transfer, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a, as shown in FIG. 21, for example, “The rental transfer has been completed and the player who has grown greatly has returned to the team. By doing so, you will be able to use the player "message is displayed on the team management screen. FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a display example when the player ability is greatly improved by the rental transfer.

  The player of the terminal device 16a can play a game using the player card 20 with greatly improved ability. Since the player of the terminal device 16a can play a game using the player card 20 with greatly improved abilities, the game can be developed extremely advantageously.

  When the player ability is improved by the rental transfer, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a, as shown in FIG. 22, for example, “The rental transfer has been completed and the grown player has returned to the team. "You will be able to use the player." Is displayed on the team management screen. FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a display example when the player ability is improved by the rental transfer.

  The player of the terminal device 16a can play a game using the player card 20 with improved ability. Since the player of the terminal device 16a can play a game using the player card 20 with improved ability, the game can be developed with an advantage.

  If the player ability has hardly improved despite the rental transfer, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a, as shown in FIG. 23, for example, “The rental transfer has been completed and the player has returned to the team. By registering the team, you will be able to use the players. "Is displayed on the team management screen. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a display example in the case where the player ability is hardly improved by the rental transfer.

(Team registration)
After the trade is established, the player cards 20 that have been traded are exchanged between the players.

  Here, a case where a trade is performed between a player of the terminal device 16a and a player of the terminal device 16c will be described as an example.

  The player of the terminal device 16a and the player of the terminal device 16c exchange the player cards 20 that have been traded.

  Then, the player of the terminal device 16a and the player of the terminal device 16c perform team registration (step S44) on the team registration screen of each of the terminal devices 16a and 16b as follows.

  The player of the terminal device 16a receives the player card 20 from the player of the terminal device 16c, and registers the player card 20 in his team. On the other hand, the player of the terminal device 16c receives the player card 20 from the player of the terminal device 16a and registers the player card in his team.

  Here, the team registration process performed by the player of the terminal device 16a will be described as an example.

  The CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a displays a team registration screen as shown in FIG. FIG. 24 is a diagram (part 1) illustrating a display example of the team registration screen.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a displays an image indicating the player card 20 acquired by trading on the team registration screen with the letters “TRADE”.

  The player considers where on the player card arrangement panel 24 the player card 20 acquired by trading is to be arranged.

  At the stage where the player card 20 acquired by the trade is not arranged on the player card arrangement panel 24, as shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a has the participating player card arrangement area 92 and the sub player card arrangement area 94. An image 96 showing the player card 20 acquired by the trade is displayed on the outside.

  The player can arrange the player card 20 acquired by the trade in the empty area 98 where the player card 20 is not arranged. In FIG. 24, the empty area 98 is indicated by a broken line.

  Here, the case where one place in the sub player card arrangement | positioning area | region 94 is the empty area | region 98 is shown.

  When the player removes the player card 20 arranged on the player card arrangement panel 24 from the player card arrangement panel 24, the place where the player card 20 is arranged becomes a new empty area 98.

  The player arranges the player card 20 in the empty area 98 on the player card arrangement panel 24.

  FIG. 25 is a second diagram illustrating a display example of the team registration screen.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a displays an image 96 showing the player card 20 arranged in the empty area 98 on the team registration screen with the letters “TRADE”.

  The CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a stores data related to the player card 20 sent from the terminal device 16c via the main control unit 14 in the memory 64 as data related to the player card 20.

  In this way, the team registration of the player card 20 acquired by trading is completed.

  When team registration is completed, it becomes possible to play a card game using the player card 20 acquired by trading.

(If you are not registered as a team)
A case where the player card 20 acquired by trade is not registered as a team will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a confirmation screen when the player card acquired by trading is not registered as a team.

  If the player card 20 acquired by trading is not registered as a team even though the player card 20 acquired by trading is not registered as a team, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a, as shown in FIG. There are players who have not been assigned.Do you want to refuse to join the team? ※ If you refuse, the player will be withdrawn from the team ※ Other trades are not possible until you register or refuse. Display above.

  On such a confirmation screen, if the player selects “No” by operating the operation input buttons 32a to 32e, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a changes the screen of the monitor 26 from the confirmation screen to the team registration screen. Switch to.

  On such a confirmation screen, when the player selects “Yes” by an operation input using the operation input buttons 32a to 32e, the CPU 62 of the terminal device 16a treats the player card 20 as a leaving group.

  When the game is over, the CPU 62 of the game devices 16a to 16c stores the data of the game results, the data of each player card 20 whose ability parameter etc. have changed, the data of the winning prizes, etc. in the respective IC cards 18. .

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the player card 20 delivered from one player to another player due to past trade returns to the one player, the player card 20 A privilege such as improving the ability parameter is given to. For this reason, the player can enjoy the game by performing a trade in expectation that the ability parameter of the player card 20 is improved.

  In addition, since the player cards 20 are exchanged between the players, the players can interact with each other in an amusement facility or the like, and can enjoy the game more.

[Modified Embodiment]
