Description

  The present invention relates to a game processing program, a game processing method, and a game processing system for providing a game using a game medium.

  As one of games using a computer, a game in which a deck (setting area) is configured by combining cards held by a user and the game is developed using the deck is already known (for example, see Patent Document 1). The deck (setting area) is an area in which cards held by the user are set according to game rules.

Japanese Patent No. 5497233

  In general, the deck is strengthened by increasing the card capabilities by combining the cards, so the user proceeds with the game by devising the combinations. In addition, in order to optimize the game balance regarding the difficulty of the game, various restrictions are applied to the deck for each game. However, due to the restrictions applied to the deck, the variation of card combinations in the deck is naturally limited. For this reason, the strategy using a deck is also limited, and there is a limit in improving the interest of the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to increase the fun of the game by increasing the number of combinations of game media while suitably maintaining the balance of the game difficulty level. The object is to provide a processing program, a game processing method, and a game processing system.

  A game processing program that solves the above-described problem includes a control unit that processes a game using a game medium, a storage unit that stores the identification information of the game medium in association with user identification information, and the game medium stored in the storage unit The game medium selected by the user is set in a setting area in accordance with the setting limit, and a battle is performed using a special game medium having a special effect to which the setting limit is not applied in the setting area. When the game media set in the setting area including the special game media satisfying the condition for ending the effect does not satisfy the setting restriction, it functions as means for notifying a predetermined message.

  A game processing method that solves the above-described problem is a game processing method that uses a control unit that processes a game using a game medium, and the control unit associates the identification information of the game medium with user identification information in a storage unit. The game media selected by the user among the game media stored and stored in the storage unit are set in a setting area according to the setting restriction, and the setting restriction is not applied in the setting area. When a game is performed using a special game medium and the game medium set in the setting area including the special game medium that satisfies the condition for ending the special effect does not satisfy the setting restriction, a predetermined message To be notified.

  A game processing system that solves the above problem is a game processing system including a control unit that processes a game using a game medium, wherein the control unit associates the identification information of the game medium with user identification information and stores a storage unit Among the game media stored in the storage unit, the game management unit configured to set the game media selected by the user in the setting region according to the setting limitation, and the setting limitation applied in the setting region Set in the setting area including a restriction determination unit that performs a battle without applying the setting restriction to a special game medium having a special effect that is not performed, and the special game medium that satisfies a condition for ending the special effect. And a notification unit that notifies a predetermined message when the game medium does not satisfy the setting restriction.

  According to the above configuration, the setting restriction is not applied only to the special game medium while the special effect of the special game medium is effective without ending. For this reason, compared with the case where a special game content is not set, the variation of the combination of game media can be increased. On the other hand, the effective period of special effects is limited, and setting restrictions are applied to game media other than special game media, so that setting of special game media can be prevented from excessively reducing the difficulty of the game. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the variation of combinations of game media in the setting area while making the game balance regarding the difficulty level of the game suitable. By increasing the variation of the combination of game media in this way, the strategy using the setting area is also increased, so that the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

  With respect to the game processing program, the setting restriction relating to the setting area is an upper limit number set for each property of the game medium, and the control unit is configured to perform the setting for the setting area and the special game medium. Preferably, the upper limit number is not applied, and the other game media function as means for applying the upper limit number.

  According to the above configuration, since the upper limit number for each property is not applied to the special game media, the special game media and the game media having the same properties as the special game media are exceeded while the special effect is effective. It is possible to set. For this reason, it is possible to provide a setting area in which a predetermined parameter is increased compared to a case where no special game medium is set. Therefore, the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

  For the game processing program, the setting restriction on the setting area is that a total of predetermined parameters set for each game medium is not more than a maximum value, and the control unit does not include the parameters, It is preferable to function as a means for summing up the parameters of only the other game media.

  According to the above configuration, since the special game media is not included in the total of the parameters, a special game media having a large parameter is set only while the special effect is effective, or other game media have a large parameter. Is possible. For this reason, it is possible to provide a setting area in which a predetermined parameter is increased compared to a case where no special game medium is set. Therefore, the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

  For the game processing program, the control unit automatically sets the setting area to satisfy the setting restriction when the setting restriction for the setting area is not satisfied when a condition for ending the special effect is satisfied. It is preferable to make it function as a means to change to.

  According to the above configuration, when the special effect ends, the setting area is automatically changed so that the setting area satisfies the setting limit. It can be suppressed. Therefore, the merit of setting a special game medium can be maintained.

  For the game program, the control unit causes the display unit to display the game medium that satisfies the setting restriction when the setting restriction of the setting area is not satisfied when a condition for ending the special effect is satisfied. It is preferable that when the game medium displayed is displayed and selected by the user, the game medium is made to function as a setting unit in the setting area.

  According to the above configuration, when the special effect ends, a game medium in which the setting area satisfies the setting limit is proposed, so that the user's operation increases as the special game medium is set. Can be suppressed. In addition, a game medium according to the user's intention can be set in the setting area. Therefore, the merit of setting a special game medium can be maintained.

  About the said game processing program, the said control part gives the said special game medium to the said predetermined number of said users among several users which belong to a group, and the said setting area of the said user who was given the said special game medium When a special game medium is set, the setting restriction is applied to the other game medium without applying the setting restriction to the special game medium, and the setting area of the user belonging to the group is used. It is preferable to function as a means for executing a battle between different groups.

  According to the above configuration, since the group battle is performed using the special game medium, it is possible to perform a battle different from the case where no special game medium is set, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. In addition, in group battles where there are particularly many factors that determine victory or defeat, special game media is only added one factor to many factors, so that it is possible to suitably maintain the game balance regarding the difficulty of the game. it can.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the variation of the combination of game media can be increased and the interest of a game can be heightened, maintaining the balance about the difficulty of a game suitably.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of a game processing program, a game processing system, and a game processing method will be described. In the present embodiment, the game is a game in which a battle is performed using a deck as a setting area constituted by game media. In the present embodiment, the game will be described as an example in which a user plays a single game as a single player.

  The game medium is used for a battle and is, for example, a card, a character, an avatar, or the like. The game media belongs to the user, and is acquired, owned, used, managed, and the like by the user. In addition, there are a plurality of types of game media, and there are a plurality of effects that are exhibited in the game. Note that the opponent is a game medium set by a computer, another user, or the like.

  In the game, a deck is created by combining one or more game media among the game media owned by the user. The deck can be organized by the user. The user can play against enemies that appear in the game and other users using the game media set in the deck. In the battle, for example, the total of predetermined parameters of the game media set in the deck is compared with the total of the fighting power of the opponent and the victory or defeat is determined. Also, the ability of the entire deck is enhanced by the combination of game media. Also, one or more game media selected from the game media set in the deck 60 are selected and a battle is performed using parameters set in the game media, or game media are added to the deck 60 as appropriate, and the total of parameters is set. Or may change the opponent in real time.

  The configuration of the game processing system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The game processing system 10 includes a game management device 11 and a user terminal 12. The game management device 11 and the user terminal 12 are connected via a network 13.

  The user terminal 12 includes a game processing unit 15, a display unit 16, and an operation input unit 17. The game processing unit 15 includes a calculation unit, a volatile storage unit, and a nonvolatile storage unit, and transmits and receives various types of information from the game management device 11 via the network 13. In addition, the game processing unit 15 executes a game using information received from the game management device 11 according to a program stored in the nonvolatile storage unit. The display unit 16 is a touch panel display, and displays information output from the game processing unit 15 as an image. The operation input unit 17 receives an operation input on the touch panel display. The game processing unit 15 receives a user input operation via the operation input unit 17 and performs various processes according to a program recorded in the nonvolatile storage unit.

  The game management device 11 includes a control unit 20 and a storage unit 21. The control unit 20 includes a calculation unit, a volatile storage unit, and a nonvolatile storage unit, and performs various calculations according to a game processing program stored in the nonvolatile storage unit. In addition, the control unit 20 transmits and receives various information to and from the user terminal 12 via the network 13. The control unit 20 includes a game management unit 22, a restriction determination unit 23, and a deck change unit 24 as an area change unit. The game management unit 22 sets a game medium as a deck and manages the progress of the game. The restriction determination unit 23 determines whether or not the deck satisfies setting restrictions regarding the deck. The deck changing unit 24 changes the configuration of the deck based on the determination result of the restriction determining unit 23.

  The storage unit 21 stores game medium information 25 and user information 26. The game medium information 25 is recorded for each game medium. The storage unit 21 stores game media information 25 of all game media that can be provided to the user in the game. When the user acquires a game medium in the game, the game management unit 22 acquires game medium information 25 corresponding to the game medium and transmits it to the user terminal 12. The game media information 25 includes a game media identifier and parameters specific to the game media.

  The identifier of the game medium is an identifier set for each game medium. The parameters specific to the game medium include the name of the game medium, “battle power”, “attribute”, “rareness”, “cost”, “special effect”, and the like.

  Here, the “battle power” is the magnitude of the attack power or the defense power of the game medium. In the game medium information 25, the battle power and the like are set to initial values. The higher the combat power, the stronger the game media.

  The “attribute” indicating the classification to which the game media belongs has three or more types of attributes, and the combination of the attributes of the game media affects the superiority of the battle. The deck becomes stronger by devising combinations of attributes according to the opponent.

  “Rarity” indicates the rarity of the game medium. The rarity includes a plurality of classes such as normal, rare (R), super rare (SR), double super rare (SSR), etc., and any rarity is given to all game media. As the rarity increases from normal to double super rare, the game media become more powerful.

“Cost” is set for the game media. For example, the stronger the game media, the greater the cost.
The “special effect” indicates an effect that the game medium exerts in the game. There are several types of special effects. The game media includes a game media to which a special effect is given and a game media to which no special effect is given. Special effects include, for example, the game media's special moves and skills. In addition, as one of special effects, there is an effect that a restriction regarding a deck is not applied to the game medium itself in which the special effect is set. A game medium to which this special effect is given (hereinafter referred to as a special game medium) can be set to the deck by changing the restrictions on the deck. Changes to deck restrictions include ignoring deck restrictions, relaxing deck restrictions, and the like. In addition, when it demonstrates without distinguishing a special game medium and a game medium, it demonstrates as a game medium only.

  The user information 26 is recorded in the storage unit 21 for each user. The user information 26 includes a user identifier, which is user identification information, and parameters specific to the user. The parameters specific to the user include owned game media information regarding the game media owned by the user. The owned game content information is associated with the game content information 25. The owned game content information includes an identifier of the game content owned by the user and the latest parameters regarding the game content. This parameter is a parameter such as “battle power”, “attribute”, “rareity”, “cost”, “special effect”, and the like, and is the latest value updated as the game progresses. That is, when the game media grows as the game progresses, the parameters included in the owned game media information become higher than the initial value parameters included in the game media information 25. Further, the user information 26 includes user deck information having an identifier of a game medium set in the user's deck and a position of the game medium in the deck. Further, the user information 26 may include, for example, “HP”, “experience value”, “item”, and the like indicating information indicating the ability in the game given to each user separately from the game medium.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the display output to the display part 16 of the user terminal 12 in the case of a game is demonstrated. A screen including a storage area 51 in which the game media 50 is stored is displayed on the display unit 16 of the user terminal 12 in accordance with a user operation. The display unit 16 displays a screen including the deck 60 in which the game medium 50 is set in accordance with a user operation.

  When the user acquires the game medium 50 in the game, the game management unit 22 of the game management device 11 acquires game medium information 25 corresponding to the acquired game medium 50 from the storage unit 21. The game management unit 22 records the acquired game content information 25 in the possessed game content information of the user information 26 in association with the storage area 51. For example, the game content information 25 is set in the storage area 51 by being recorded in the owned game content information without being recorded in the user deck information.

  The deck 60 is provided with a predetermined number of frames 61 in which the game media 50 can be set. In FIG. 2, nine frames 61 are provided. The game management unit 22 sets the game medium 50 in the frame 61 in accordance with a user operation on the user terminal 12. When the game medium 50 is set in one of the frames 61 of the deck 60, the information of the game medium 50 is recorded in the user deck information of the user information 26 together with the identifier of the frame 61.

  Further, the user can return the game media 50 set in the deck 60 to the storage area 51. That is, the user can remove the game medium 50 set in the deck 60 from the deck 60 or replace it with the game medium 50 set in the storage area 51. When replacing the game media 50 in the deck 60, the game management unit 22 excludes the information on the game media 50 excluded from the deck 60 from the user deck information, and uses the information on the game media 50 set in the deck 60 as the user deck information. Record. In the present embodiment, the replacement of the game medium 50 is limited to a predetermined timing such as before a battle.

  The deck 60 is provided with setting restrictions regarding the game medium 50. One of the setting restrictions regarding the deck 60 is an upper limit number for each rarity. The number of game media 50 for each rarity that can be set in the deck 60 needs to be equal to or less than the upper limit number determined for each rarity. For example, in one deck 60, one double super rare (SSR) game medium, two super rare (SR) game contents, and four rare (R) game contents can be set. There is no upper limit for normal game media. By setting as many rare game media 50 as possible in the deck 60, the battle power of the deck 60 can be enhanced and the deck 60 can be strengthened. However, as described above, since the upper limit number for each rarity is set in the deck 60, even if many double super rare game media 50 are stored in the storage area 51, for example, those game media 50 are stored. If the setting restriction is applied, the double super rare game medium 50 cannot be set in the deck 60 beyond the upper limit.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the special effect which does not apply the setting restrictions regarding the deck 60 to the special game medium 52 will be described. Note that the special game medium 52 has a rarity that is higher in rarity than normal, and is more valuable to be set in the deck 60 than the normal game medium 50. The game management unit 22 of the game management device 11 performs special processing when the user satisfies the provision conditions of the special game medium 52, for example, when the user participates in a predetermined event or when the user starts a predetermined battle. The game medium 52 is given to the user. The special effect start condition is, for example, setting of the special game medium 52 to the deck 60 or the like. The game management unit 22 ends the event period, the end of the predetermined battle, the elapse of a predetermined time from the time when the special game medium is set in the deck 60, the reaching of the upper limit value of a predetermined parameter such as the combat power, etc. If the special effect end condition is satisfied, it is determined that the special effect of the special game medium 52 has ended.

  In the deck 60 shown in FIG. 3A, there is one game medium 50 of double super rare (“SSR” in the figure), one game medium 50 of super rare, three rare game media 50, and a normal game. Four media 50 are set. It is assumed that the upper limit number of super rares is two. When the special game medium 52 described above is set in the deck 60 by the game management unit 22, the restriction determination unit 23 does not apply the above-described upper limit for each rarity to the special game medium 52. Whether or not the setting limit is satisfied by applying the upper limit number for each rarity to the other game media 50 based on the possessed game media information of the game media information 25 or the user information 26. Judging.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, when three special game media 52 having super rare rarity are set in the deck 60, the restriction determination unit 23 sets the number of super rare game media 50 to the number of special game media 50. The number 52 is not included. For example, the special game medium 52 having super rare rarity is not counted as the super rare game medium 50, and the number of super rare is counted as “1”. Accordingly, four super rare game media 50 including the special game media 52 and exceeding the upper limit number can be set in the deck 60. On the other hand, the battle power of the special game medium 52 is included in the battle power of the entire deck 60, and other special effects such as attributes and special moves are also effective. Therefore, the value of the special game medium 52 is reflected in the deck 60. Is possible.

  When the special effect end condition of the special game medium 52 is satisfied, the restriction determination unit 23 also applies the upper limit number for each rarity to the special game medium 52. The restriction determination unit 23 counts the number of special game media 52 included in the number for each rarity.

  The deck changing unit 24 of the game management device 11 does not change the configuration of the deck 60 when the deck 60 satisfies the setting restriction. When the deck 60 does not satisfy the setting limit, the deck changing unit 24 changes the configuration of the deck 60 so as to satisfy the upper limit number for each rarity.

  With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the change of the deck 60 after the end of the special effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the limit determining unit 23 determines that four super rare game media 50 exceeding the upper limit number are set in the deck 60 when the special effect ends, the super rare It is determined that the upper limit is not satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the deck changing unit 24 selects a number exceeding “two” which is the upper limit number of super rares, that is, two super rare game media 50 based on the determination result of the restriction determining unit 23. The game medium 50 to be erased is selected by a predetermined selection method. Then, the game medium 50 is deleted from the deck 60 by excluding the information of the game medium 50 from the user deck information. The deck changing unit 24 stores the game medium 50 erased from the deck 60 in association with the storage area 51 and returns it to the storage area 51. Alternatively, the deck changing unit 24 may exclude the game media 50 to be deleted from the deck 60 from the game media 50 held by the user without associating the game media 50 with the storage area 51.

  One method of selecting game media 50 to be erased is to select game media 50 that do not satisfy the upper limit for each rarity in a predetermined order. For example, frame numbers “1” to “9” are assigned to the frame 61 of the deck 60, for example, in the order of the frames 61A to 61I. In “deletion”, the deck changing unit 24 selects and deletes the special game media 52 that do not satisfy the upper limit in order from the special game media 52 having the largest frame number among the special game media 52. When the special game medium 52 is deleted, the user displays the screen of the storage area 51 on the display unit 16 of the user terminal 12 and selects the game medium 50 to be newly set in the deck 60 from the storage area 51. To do. Here, the case where the timings at which the special effects of the three special game media 52 are completed is described at the same time. However, since the special effects are set for each special game media 52, the timing at which the special effects are completed differs. It may be.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the formation of the deck 60 and the change of the deck 60 after the end of the special effect will be described together with the operation of the game management device 11.
First, a case where the user forms the deck 60 will be described with reference to FIG. The user displays a screen including the deck 60 on the display unit 16 of the user terminal 12 and performs a predetermined operation for organizing the deck 60. For example, an operation of exchanging the game media 50 set in the deck 60 with the game media 50 stored in the storage area 51 is performed.

  The game processing unit 15 of the user terminal 12 receives the composition operation via the operation input unit 17, and obtains the identifier of the game medium 50 to be removed from the deck 60 and the identifier of the game medium 50 requested to be added to the deck 60. The composition information that is included is transmitted to the game management device 11.

  The game management unit 22 of the game management device 11 acquires the organization information transmitted from the user terminal 12 (step S1). The restriction determination unit 23 acquires the user deck information of the user information 26 from the storage unit 21, and determines whether or not the special game medium 52 is in the deck 60 (step S2).

  If the restriction determining unit 23 determines that the special game medium 52 is not set in the deck 60 (step S2: NO), the game medium information 25 corresponding to the identifier of the game medium 50 included in the composition information or the game owned by the user Based on the medium information, the setting limitation of the deck 60 is determined (step S4). At this time, the restriction determination unit 23 counts the number of game media 50 for each rarity for the game media 50 requested to be added to the deck 60 and the game media 50 set in the deck 60. Then, it is determined whether or not the counted number of game media 50 satisfies the upper limit number for each rarity. Alternatively, the restriction determination unit 23 determines whether the game medium 50 requested to be added to the deck 60 satisfies the remaining number for each rarity based on the remaining number for each rarity included in the user deck information. It may be. For example, the game medium 50 requested to be added to the deck 60 is “Super Rare”, and the remaining number of Super Rare game media 50 that can be added to the deck 60 is recorded as “Super Rare 2” in the user deck information. If it is, it is determined that the upper limit number for each rarity is satisfied.

  Next, based on the determination result, the restriction determination unit 23 determines whether or not the configuration of the deck 60 when the composition operation is accepted satisfies the setting restriction on the deck 60 (step S5). When the restriction determination unit 23 determines that the setting restriction of the deck 60 is not satisfied (step S5: NO), the formation of the deck 60 is rejected (step S7), and new composition information is transmitted from the user terminal 12. Wait. At this time, the game management unit 22 transmits a message to the user terminal 12 that the organization of the deck 60 is not accepted.

  When the restriction determination unit 23 determines that the setting restriction of the deck 60 is satisfied (step S5: YES), the formation of the deck 60 is accepted (step S6). At this time, the game management unit 22 deletes the information of the game medium 50 excluded from the deck 60 from the user deck information of the user information 26 and records the information of the game medium 50 to be set in the deck 60 in the user deck information. Further, when the remaining number for each rarity is included in the user deck information, the remaining number is updated. The game management device 11 performs the knitting process of the deck 60 every time the knitting information is acquired. The user performs a battle using the deck 60 thus organized.

  On the other hand, if the restriction determination unit 23 determines that the special game medium 52 is set in the deck 60 (step S2: YES), the setting restriction of the deck 60 is applied to the special game medium 52 based on the acquired composition information. In step S3, the setting restriction of the deck 60 is determined. At this time, the restriction determination unit 23 counts the number of game media 50 for each rarity for the game media 50 excluding the special game media 52 based on the game media information 25 or the possessed game media information of the user information 26. Then, it is determined whether or not the counted number of game media 50 satisfies the upper limit number for each rarity. Alternatively, the restriction determination unit 23 determines whether the game medium 50 requested to be added to the deck 60 satisfies the remaining number for each rarity based on the remaining number for each rarity included in the user deck information. It may be. When the special game media 52 is set in the deck 60, the remaining number for each rarity is calculated without including the special game media 52.

  And the restriction | limiting determination part 23 judges whether the structure of the deck 60 satisfy | fills setting restrictions based on the determination result of step S3 (step S5). When the restriction determination unit 23 determines that the setting restriction is not satisfied (step S5: NO), the knitting operation is rejected (step S7). When the restriction determination unit 23 determines that the setting restriction is satisfied (step S5: YES), the formation of the deck 60 is accepted (step S6).

  Thus, by setting the special game medium 52 in the deck 60, it is possible to play a battle with a combination of game media 50 that cannot be combined unless the special game medium 52 is set. For example, a special game medium 52 such as rare, super rare, or double super rare can be set in the deck 60 instead of the normal game medium 50. In this case, the deck 60 becomes powerful and the game can be advantageously advanced.

  Next, a procedure for changing the configuration of the deck 60 when the special effect ends will be described with reference to FIG. The game management unit 22 determines whether or not a special effect end condition such as the end of an event or the end of a match is satisfied (step S10). If it is determined that the special effect termination condition is not satisfied (step S10: NO), the determination in step S10 is repeated.

  If the game management unit 22 determines that the special effect of the special game medium 52 has been completed (step S10: YES), it determines the deck setting restriction including the special game medium 52 for which the special effect has ended (step S10). S11). The restriction determination unit 23 counts the special game media 52 having the super rare rarity as the super rare game media 50.

  Based on the determination result of step S11, the limit determination unit 23 determines whether the configuration of the deck 60 exceeds the setting limit (step S12). If the limit determining unit 23 determines that the limit of the deck is exceeded (step S12: YES), the deck changing unit 24 changes the configuration of the deck 60 to satisfy the limit of the deck 60 (step S13). The deck changing unit 24 excludes the information on the special game media 52 exceeding the upper limit from the user deck information, and deletes the target special game media 52. On the other hand, when the limit determination unit 23 determines that the limit of the deck is not exceeded (step S12: NO), the setting configuration is not changed (step S13).

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained.
(1) Setting restrictions relating to the deck 60 are not applied to the special game medium 52 only while the special game medium 52 is set in the deck 60 and the special effect is valid. For this reason, the variation of the combination of the game media 50 can be increased compared with the case where the special game media 52 is not set. On the other hand, since the effective period of the special effect is limited and the setting restriction is applied to the game media 50 other than the special game media 52, the setting of the special game media 52 is prevented from excessively reducing the difficulty of the game. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to increase the variation of combinations of game media on the deck 60 while making the game balance about the difficulty level of the game strategy suitable. Thus, by increasing the variation of the combination of the game media 50, the strategy using the deck 60 also increases, so that the interest of the game can be further enhanced. Further, when the special effect ends, the deck 60 is configured so as to satisfy the setting limitation. Therefore, the special game medium 52 and the other game medium 50 for which the special effect has ended are set according to the setting of the special game medium 52. It is possible to suppress a significant increase in user operations, such as replacement. For this reason, the merit of setting the special game media 52 can be maintained.

  (2) Since the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied to the special game medium 52, it is possible to set the special game medium 52 exceeding the upper limit number only while the special effect is effective. Therefore, as compared with the case where the special game medium 52 is not set, the deck 60 with a predetermined parameter such as a fighting power can be increased, and a battle with a new strategy becomes possible. Therefore, the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. Note that the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that a special game medium is given to a group in a game where groups play against each other. The detailed explanation is omitted.

  The user information 26 recorded in the storage unit 21 of the game management device 11 includes the identifier of the group to which the user belongs. In addition, you may make it record in the memory | storage part 21 the group information which has the identifier of the user who belongs to a group for every group.

  The game management unit 22 of the game management device 11 executes a group battle game in which groups battle each other. In the group battle, the user may be divided into an attacking role, a defensive role, etc. within the group. In this case, the attacking user configures the deck 60 using the game medium 50 having a high attack power, and the defending user configures the deck using the game medium 50 having a high defense power.

  The game management unit 22 assigns a predetermined number of special game media 52 for each group when the provision conditions for the special game media 52 are satisfied. At this time, the number of special game media 52 may be changed according to predetermined parameters (experience value, competitive strength, etc.) of the group, or may be constant for each group.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the game management unit 22 assigns the special game media 52 to a plurality of users (user A and user B in the figure) belonging to the group 63. The special game medium 52 is set in the deck 60 of the user to which the special game medium 52 is assigned. Alternatively, the special game media 52 given to the group 63 may be given to one of the users belonging to the group 63.

  The game management unit 22 may determine the user to whom the special game medium 52 is given in the group according to the role in the battle. For example, the special game medium 52 may be given only to the user of the attacking role, or the special game medium may be given only to the user of the defense role. Alternatively, the game medium 50 having a high attack power may be given to the attacking user, and the user having a high defense power may be given only to the defense user. Or the restriction | limiting determination part 23 may provide the special game media 52 in an order from a user with a predetermined parameter low, and may provide the special game media 52 in an order from a user with a high predetermined parameter. Or you may make it the restriction | limiting determination part 23 select the user who provides the special game content 52 by the one part user who belongs to a group, or all the users.

  The special game medium 52 is set in the user's deck 60 to which the special game medium 52 is assigned. The user performs a group battle using the deck 60 in which the special game media 52 is set. Thus, when the special game medium 52 is applied to the group battle having many factors that influence the battle result, the provision of the special game media 52 becomes one of the many factors. Accordingly, the provision of the special game medium 52 in the group battle is not directly linked to the battle result. For this reason, especially in group battles, the game balance can be made suitable because the provision of the special game medium 52 does not break the game balance regarding the difficulty level of the game.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) and (2) described in the first embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained.
(3) Since the group battle is performed using the special game medium 52, it is possible to perform a battle different from the normal battle, and to enhance the interest of the game. In addition, in a group battle in which there are particularly many factors that determine victory or defeat, the special game medium is only added to one of many factors, so that the balance of the difficulty level of the game can be suitably maintained.

(Other embodiments)
In addition, each said embodiment can also be suitably changed and implemented as follows.
In the first embodiment, the deck changing unit 24 changes the configuration of the deck 60 so as to satisfy the restriction of the deck 60 (step S23). Specifically, the special game media 52 are deleted by a number that does not satisfy the setting limit. Instead of this, when the special effect of the special game medium is finished, the game medium may be automatically set for the game medium that does not satisfy the setting restriction.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the deck changing unit 24 of the game management device 11 selects a game medium 50 that satisfies the limitation of the deck 60 from the user storage area 51 based on the owned game medium information. For example, the game medium 50 having a rarity whose rarity is lower than the rarity of the game medium 50 that does not satisfy the upper limit number is selected. Then, the deck changing unit 24 replaces the selected game medium 50 with the game medium 50 exceeding the upper limit number. At this time, the game media 50 exceeding the upper limit number and to be replaced may be determined in descending order of the frame number, or may be determined in descending order of the frame number. In addition, the game media 50 to be replaced may be in the order of increasing or decreasing a predetermined parameter, or may be determined randomly. Thereby, when the special effect is completed, the deck 60 is automatically changed so as to satisfy the setting restriction, so that the troublesomeness on the operation surface associated with the setting of the special game medium 52 can be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain the merit that the special game medium 52 is given to the deck 60.

  In the first embodiment, the deck changing unit 24 changes the configuration of the deck 60 so as to satisfy the restriction of the deck 60 (step S23). Specifically, the special game media 52 are deleted by a number that does not satisfy the setting limit. Instead, when the special effect of the special game medium is completed, a game medium that satisfies the deck restriction is proposed to the user for the game medium that does not satisfy the setting restriction, and a predetermined number of the proposed game mediums You may make it make a user select a game media.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the deck changing unit 24 transmits information on the game medium 50 that satisfies the setting restrictions of the deck 60 in the user storage area 51 to the user terminal 12, and displays the display unit of the user terminal 12. 16 is output as a display 62. The user selects the number of game media 50 designated by the game management device 11 or an arbitrary number from the displayed game media 50. The game processing unit 15 of the user terminal 12 transmits the identifier of the selected game medium 50 to the game management device 11. The game management unit 22 of the game management device 11 sets the game medium 50 selected by the user to the deck 60 instead of the game medium 50 exceeding the upper limit number for each rarity.

  At this time, for example, when the user does not own the game medium 50 that satisfies the limit of the deck 60, the control unit 20 can propose the purchase of the game medium 50 or satisfy the setting limit. You may propose to ask another user who owns such game media 50 for support. In this way, the game management device 11 proposes the game medium 50 to be newly set on the deck 60, thereby saving the user's operation for searching for another game medium, and the operation surface associated with the setting of the special game medium 52. The troublesomeness can be reduced. In addition, a game medium according to the user's intention can be set in the setting area.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect in which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. The special effect is not limited to this as long as the setting restrictions on the deck are not applied. For example, the special game medium 52 has a special effect that does not have a cost or does not include the cost in the total cost of the deck 60 instead of or in addition to the special effect to which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. You may do it. “Cost” is set for the game media. For example, the stronger the game media, the greater the cost. The maximum deck cost is set for the deck, and the total cost of the game media set for the deck needs to be less than the maximum deck cost. The total cost of the game media 50 set in the deck 60 needs to be equal to or less than the maximum deck cost of the user. For example, the cost of game media having a large combat power tends to be large, but if a game media having a large combat power is selected with priority, the total cost may exceed the maximum deck cost. In that case, the deck 60 including game media having a small battle power is set. Since the special game medium 52 is not included in the total cost, the special game medium 52 having a large cost is set only while the special effect is effective, or the other game medium 50 set on the deck 60 is expensive. It is possible to make it. Also in this case, when the special effect of the special game medium 52 is completed, the deck changing unit 24 changes the deck 60 so as to satisfy the restriction. Therefore, compared to the case where the special game medium 52 is not set, it is possible to make the deck 60 in which a predetermined parameter such as a battle power is enhanced. Therefore, the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect in which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. The special effect is not limited to this as long as the setting restriction on the deck 60 is not applied. For example, the special game medium 52 may have both a special effect to which the upper limit number is not applied and a special effect to which the cost is not applied. In this way, the game can be advantageously advanced by setting the special game medium 52 to the deck 60.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect that does not apply the upper limit number for each rarity. Instead of or in addition to this, the special game medium 52 may have a special effect to which other restrictions regarding the deck configuration are not applied.

  As shown in FIG. 10, there is a deck enhancement effect (tower effect) as an effect of increasing the combat power of the deck 60. The deck enhancement effect is a predetermined parameter of the game medium 50 in the deck 60 according to the number of game media 50 in the storage area 51 and the same type of game media 50 as compared to the game media 50 set in the deck 60. This is an effect of adding a part or all of. As a result, predetermined parameters such as attack power and defense power of the game medium 50 of the deck 60 can be increased. The same type of game medium 50 is, for example, a game medium 50 having the same card design, character, and avatar. As one of the setting restrictions of the deck 60, there is a restriction on the deck enhancement effect. Specifically, the number of game media 50 that can be increased by adding parameters to one game media 50 set in the deck 60 is limited to, for example, “3” or less. When the special game medium 52 is set to the deck 60, the restriction determination unit 23 of the game management device 11 does not apply the setting restriction of the deck 60 regarding the deck enhancement effect, and stacks the same type of game medium 50 without restriction. Is acceptable. Note that the game media that can be enhanced by adding parameters to the special game media 52 may have the same design as the special game media 52, and may or may not have special effects.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect in which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. Alternatively or in addition, the special game media 52 can exchange the game media 50 in the storage area 51 and the game media of other users who have requested support for the special game media 52 at any timing during the battle. You may have. In a case where the special game medium 52 has a special effect capable of exchanging itself with another game medium, the restriction determination unit 23 receives an exchange instruction and an identifier of the game medium 50 to be exchanged from the user terminal 12, The battle is temporarily stopped and the special game medium 52 is exchanged for the designated game medium 50. If the exchange can be performed at an arbitrary timing as described above, for example, after the predetermined parameters such as the attack power and the defense power of the special game medium 52 are decreased, the predetermined parameters are decreased instead of the special game medium 52. No game media 50 can be set. Since the game can be played using the game medium 50 in which the predetermined parameter has not decreased, the game can be advantageously advanced.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect in which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. Instead of or in addition to this, the special game medium 52 may have a special effect that does not apply a predetermined action from the opponent to itself. For example, when the special game medium 52 is set to the deck 60, the control unit 20 avoids a specific attack from the opponent, or reduces the defense strength of the opponent during the attack from itself. In this way, the game can be advantageously advanced using the deck 60 in which the special game medium 52 is set.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect in which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. Instead of or in addition to this, the special game medium 52 may have an effect that the lower limit number related to the deck 60 is not applied. For example, the limitation on the deck 60 may be that a predetermined parameter such as a total cost is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. When the special game media 52 is set to the deck 60, for example, when the restriction determination unit 23 acquires the organization information of the deck 60, the control unit 20 determines that the total cost of the game media 50 other than the special game media 52 is predetermined. It is determined whether or not the value is greater than or equal to the value. When determining that the total cost is less than the predetermined value, the restriction determination unit 23 rejects the formation of the deck 60, and receives the formation of the deck 60 when determining that the total cost is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a special effect in which the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied. Alternatively or in addition, the special game medium 52 may have a special effect that relaxes restrictions on the deck 60. For example, when the special game medium 52 is set to the deck 60, the parameters of the special game medium 52 may be counted in a direction that is not easily restricted by the setting restriction. Specifically, when the super rare special game media 52 is set to the deck 60, the number of the special game media 52 is not included in the number of the super rare game media 50 in the above embodiment. The upper limit for each rarity may be applied as a low “rare” game medium, or the upper limit for each rarity may be applied as two “rare”. Alternatively, the special game medium 52 with the cost “4” may be included in the total cost as “2” when set to the deck 60. In this way, since the restriction can be reduced while imposing a setting restriction on the special game medium 52, the strategy using the deck 60 is increased, the game is further enhanced, and the game balance is optimized. Can do.

  In each of the above embodiments, the special game medium 52 has a certain special effect until the special effect end condition is satisfied. Instead of or in addition to this, the special effect may be changed from when the special effect is started until it is ended. For example, the upper limit number for each rarity is not applied in the period immediately after the special game medium 52 is set in the deck 60, and in the next period, the rare game is counted as a rarity with a rarity lower than that of the special game medium 52. You may do it. Further, it may be counted as the rarity of the special game medium 52 in the next period. In this way, the game can be advantageously developed using the special game medium 52, and a time limit can be set. Therefore, the strategy using the deck 60 is increased, and the interest of the game is enhanced. , Game balance can be optimized.

  In each of the above embodiments, before the game medium 50 is set to the deck 60, it is determined whether or not the limit on the deck 60 such as the upper limit number for each rarity is satisfied. Instead of this, it may be determined whether or not the restriction on the deck 60 is satisfied after the game medium 50 is set to the deck 60. When the restriction determination unit 23 determines that the restriction on the deck 60 is not satisfied, the deck changing unit 24 changes the deck 60 to satisfy the restriction. For example, the deck changing unit 24 deletes the game media 50 that exceeds the limit, automatically sets a replacement of the game media 50, and proposes other game media 50.

  In each of the above embodiments, the setting area in which the special game media is set is described as a deck for performing a battle by combining the set game media. However, if the special game media can be set, an area other than the deck It can also be applied to. For example, when a game medium such as a character or an avatar can move within a predetermined range, the predetermined range may be set as the setting area. In this case, when the special game medium is set within the predetermined range, the game can be played without applying restrictions on the predetermined range to the special game medium. For this reason, the user can play a game in a mode different from usual.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the special game medium 52 to which a special effect is given has a rarity that is higher in rarity than normal. The application target of the special game medium 52 only needs to be excellent in predetermined parameters such as combat power, level, skill, and the like, and have a high value to be set in the deck 60 in addition to the rarity.

  ・ Specific parameters of the game medium 50 include the name of the game medium, “battle power”, “attribute”, “rare”, “cost”, “special effect”, etc., but are not limited to this. is not. The unique parameters of the game medium 50 are in accordance with the content of the game, and may not include some or all of the above parameters but may include other parameters. In addition, setting restrictions regarding the deck 60 are provided in accordance with the parameters specific to the game medium 50. For example, when “level” is included in the unique parameter of the game medium 50, an upper limit number may be set for each level. In this case, this level of restriction is not applied to the special game media 52.

  In the above embodiments, information on game media owned by the user is recorded in the user information 26, but the recording destination of information on game media owned by the user is not limited to this. It may be included in the game media information 25 as long as it is associated with information on the game media owned by the user.

  In the above embodiments, the control unit 20 and the storage unit 21 of the game management device 11 may be provided in the user terminal 12. In this case, the control unit 20 of the user terminal 12 provides a native game that is a game that does not pass through other applications such as a browser by executing a game processing program stored in the nonvolatile storage unit. Alternatively, each of the game management device 11 and the user terminal 12 may be a hybrid game that is a part of the processing.
