First Embodiment

[Overview of the game]
First, an outline of an example of a game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a game played using a game object possessed by a user, and is, for example, a battle game in which a battle is performed with an opponent. The game object is, for example, a card corresponding to each of a plurality of characters. A character is a person, an animal, an object (for example, a vehicle) appearing in a game. A card is an entity that indicates a character appearing in a game, and is an example of an object that is recognized by the user by an image (text, still image, moving image, etc.). Specifically, the card is a card representing a character that battles against an enemy character who is an opponent in the game, and is displayed as an image on the game screen.

  Although a battle game is taken as an example here, it is not limited to a battle game, and may be a baseball game, a soccer game, an RPG game, a training game, or other types of games. The game object is not limited to a card, and may be another object such as a medal or a figure representing the character itself, or may be displayed as an image on the game screen like a card. .

  In the battle game according to the present embodiment, a plurality of cards that can be used for battle are given to the user according to the progress of the game. For example, a card is given to the user as a reward when winning the battle of the game, or given to the user by performing a card lottery (so-called gacha). The user can possess a plurality of assigned cards, and can select a card of a character to battle from among the possessed cards. In addition to the cards, the cards also include cards showing weapons and protective effects that affect the attack and defense of characters in battle. The user can carry a card indicating a weapon or armor as well as a card indicating a character, and can select a card to be used for battle from among the cards possessed.

  Among the cards possessed by the user (hereinafter, also referred to as “possession cards”), there are cards that have been set in advance as initial settings at the start of play and those that are acquired after the play is started. The default cards in possession are often insufficient cards to advance the game in an advantageous manner, and the progress of the game is greatly influenced by whether the user can acquire a good card below after the start of play. After the start of play, the user can obtain a card, for example, by card lottery.

[About card lottery]
The card lottery is a predetermined timing (for example, the timing at which the game was played first, the timing according to the number of games played, etc.), the user wins the battle, or payment of a predetermined charge or the game It becomes feasible by consumption of currency. For example, when the user performs a tap operation on the “card lottery” button displayed on the game screen, the card lottery screen is transitioned, and the lottery process of the cards given to the user is executed. In addition, the thing with respect to the operation with respect to the "card lottery" button for performing this card lottery is also called "lottery operation" below.

  Here, an example of the card lottery method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In the present embodiment, the user can select a card given to the user from among a plurality of cards selected by lottery in accordance with a predetermined rule.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on a card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. When the card lottery is executed, 14 cards selected by the lottery are presented as illustrated on a card lottery screen G10. Here, although the drawn 14 cards are indicated by cards A to N for convenience, in actuality, card information of the drawn cards will be displayed. The fourteen cards are cards that can be selected by the user as cards to be provided to the user (that is, card options that can be acquired by the user). Here, the user can select three cards one by one from the fourteen cards in one lottery. The selection of each of the first, second, and third images can be selected according to the order of preset steps from the options divided into three steps corresponding to each selection. Here, the first option, the second option, and the third option are divided into three stages, and the first, second, and third options are each selected as the first option. The option of the second option, the option of the second option, and the option of the third option are thus selectable. In the illustrated example, the first option is two cards A and B. The second option is four cards C to F. The third option is eight cards G to N.

  Two cards of the first choice, four cards of the second choice, and eight cards of the third choice, starting from the lowermost "start", the selection route shown by the arrows Are arranged in the order of the lower stage, the middle stage, and the upper stage in an inverted tree structure (a hierarchical structure that branches upward from the bottom) together with route information (path information) indicating. The route information is information indicating the association between a plurality of cards, and indicates the order of selection of cards by the user and rules such as selectable / unselectable. That is, based on this route information, card options are limited. For example, the route information is information indicating a route from one selected card to the next selectable card, and the second selectable card is a second selectable card by the selection of the first card. The second selection restricts the third selectable card to any of the third choices. That is, the card selectable next to the selected card is a card connected to the selected card by route information. You can not select a card that is not connected to the selected card by route information. Further, the route information has a direction (the direction of the arrow), and the direction of the arrow indicates the order of selection. Cards connected to the end of the arrow can be selected, but cards connected in the reverse direction of the arrow can not be selected. In the following description, connecting to the tip of the arrow of the route information is also simply referred to as connecting with the route information. The route information displayed on the card lottery screen is, more specifically, “information that allows visual recognition of the association between the cards based on route information (association information) indicating association between a plurality of cards”. In the embodiment, in order to simplify the description, it is also simply referred to as "route information" including the visible information.

  In the illustrated example, the cards that can be selected first from the “start” are the card A and the card B connected by “start” and route information. The second option is four cards C to F. However, when card A is selected for the first card, two cards C and D connected by route information with card A and two cards are two When the card B is selected for the first card, two cards E and F connected by the card B and the route information become cards for which the second card can be selected.

  Similarly, although the third option is eight cards G to N, the third card selected is also limited by the second selected card. For example, when the second card C is selected, two cards of the card G and the card H connected by the card C and the route information become the third selectable card, and the second card D When it is selected, two cards of the card I and the card J connected by the card D and the route information become the third selectable card. When the second card E is selected, two cards of the card K and the card L connected by the card E and the route information become the third selectable card, and the second card F When selected, the second card M and the second card M connected to the card F by the route information become the third selectable card.

  The user selects one of the 14 cards selected (for example, cards A and B), a second option (for example, cards C to F), and a third option (for example, card G). The cards are selected one by one from selectable cards according to the route information in the order of -N). Thereby, the selected three cards are given to the user.

  FIG. 2 is a view for explaining a selection example of a lottery card on the card lottery screen. In the illustrated card lottery screen G20, first, as the selection of the first sheet, the card A is selected from the two sheets of the card A and the card B. When the first card A is selected, the next selectable cards are only the cards C and D connected to the card A by the route information, and the route information such as the card E and the card F You can not select cards that are not connected by. In addition, it is impossible to skip the second option and select the third option card G, card H or the like. In the example shown in the figure, the card D is selected from the two sheets of the card C and the card D as the second sheet selection, and the card I is selected from the two sheets of the card I and the card J as the third sheet selection. ing. Three pieces of the selected card A, card D and card I are given to the user, and the other cards are not given.

  In addition, the display mode may be changed so that the selected card (selected card) can be distinguished from the unselected card (unselected card) for visual recognition. For example, the selected card may be highlighted (displayed in bold frame, enlarged display, stereoscopically visible display, etc.) or the color may be changed in a state where it is not selected.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3, non-selectable cards may be displayed darkened. FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of a card lottery screen in the case where a card which can not be selected is displayed in a dark state. In the illustrated card lottery screen G30, the card A is selected as the selection of the first sheet, and only the card C and the card D can be selected as the selection of the second sheet. Therefore, the unselectable cards B and cards E to N are displayed in a dark state. In addition, since the card A has been selected, it is a display mode (for example, highlighting) indicating that the card A has been selected. Note that the card is not limited to the dark display, and the card which can not be selected may be displayed in gray, in a state where the contrast is lowered, or may not be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, if there is no route rejoining after branching of the route in the route information of the cards arranged in the reverse tree structure, the second card, 1 if the third card is determined The final card is also confirmed. Therefore, when the third sheet is selected to allow the user to select the first one, the second and first cards are automatically determined without the user's selection by the user selecting the third sheet. It may be done.

  Further, in the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the card lottery screen is disclosed by basically displaying information of each card. The card information is information indicating the contents of the card, such as the name of the card (character name etc.) and the parameters of the card (rarity, aggression, defense etc.). In this way, the user can select the card he / she wants to acquire, considering which route the information is to be selected will improve the contents of the card when the final three cards are acquired. It is possible to enhance the taste of the lottery.

  Next, the card selection method will be described. In the card lottery screen shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, when the user taps a card that the user wants to select, a selection confirmation screen for confirming the selection is displayed. The selection confirmation screen may be superimposed on the card lottery screen and displayed in a pop-up manner, for example, by tapping the card, or may be displayed instead of the card lottery screen. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the selection confirmation screen. In the selection confirmation screen GP10 shown, detailed information of the card is displayed in the area indicated by the symbol f1. For example, as card information, a card image (an image showing a character corresponding to this card), rarity, aggression, defense, values of parameters associated with the card such as HP, etc. are displayed. In addition, in the area indicated by symbol f2, a statement (in this case, "Do you want to select this card?") Asking for an operation input about whether to select a card or not, and a selection for confirming the selection of the card A confirmation button B1 (here, a button described as “Yes”), and a cancel button B2 (here, “Cancel”) for canceling the tap operation on the previous card without selecting a card Button is displayed. When the user taps on the selection confirmation button B1, the selection of the card is confirmed, and the screen returns to the card lottery screen.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the plurality of cards are presented to the user along with the route information in the plurality of lottery in which a plurality of cards are given to the user for one lottery operation. The user can select and acquire a plurality of (for example, 3) cards from among a plurality of (for example, 14) cards to be played according to the route information. Hereinafter, the plural-piece lottery is also referred to as a "route select lottery". Further, the operation of selecting a card to be acquired by the user from among a plurality of (for example, 14) cards selected by the plural-piece lottery is hereinafter also referred to as “selection operation”.

[Functional configuration]
Next, referring to FIG. 8, functional configurations of the user terminal 10 and the game server 30 included in the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the user terminal 10 and the game server 30 according to the present embodiment.

[Functional Configuration of User Terminal 10]
First, the functional configuration of the user terminal 10 will be described.
The user terminal 10 includes a game control unit 110 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 11 executing the game control program stored in the storage unit 15. The game control unit 110 executes game processing based on the game control program in response to the user's operation on the input unit 13. For example, the game control unit 110 executes a battle game process.

  For example, the game control unit 110 includes an operation reception unit 111, a lottery request unit 112, a lottery result acquisition unit 113, a display control unit 114, and a selection result transmission unit 115. The operation accepting unit 111 accepts the user's operation on the input unit 13. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 14 to display various game screens corresponding to game processing (for example, battle game processing) to be executed according to the content of the user's operation received by the operation receiving unit 111. Various game screens include a home screen displayed when the game is started, a card selection screen for selecting a card to be used for battle from owned cards, an item purchase screen capable of purchasing items used in the game, etc., enemy characters And battle screens etc.

  For example, on the home screen, an operation icon as an operator for transitioning to a card selection screen, an item purchase screen, a battle screen, etc. is displayed, and transition is made to each screen according to the user's operation on the operation icon corresponding to each screen. Do. In addition, on the home screen, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a “card lottery” button is displayed as an operation element for the user to perform card lottery. A transition is made from the home screen to the card lottery screen based on the lottery operation for the "card lottery" button.

  The predetermined condition that allows the card lottery is, for example, that the card lottery has not been executed on that day, as long as the card lottery can be performed once a day. In addition, card lottery may be possible on condition of consumption of points acquired by battle and consumption of in-game currency (which may be exchanged with real world currency). In addition, a card lottery may be possible on condition of payment of a predetermined fee. Moreover, the specification which can be card | curd lottery unconditionally may be sufficient.

  The lottery request unit 112 transmits the lottery request information for requesting the card lottery through the communication unit 12 to the game server 30 in response to the operation reception unit 111 receiving the user's lottery operation on the operation icon for performing the card lottery. Send to The lottery request information includes identification information of the user playing the game, identification information of the game, lottery type information indicating the type of card lottery for which execution is requested, and the like. The types of card lottery include one-shot lottery and plural-piece lottery. A one-shot lottery is a lottery in which one lottery process is performed for one lottery operation and one card selected in the lottery is given to the user. On the other hand, the plural-sheet lottery is a lottery in which a plurality of cards are given to the user for one lottery operation. For example, the “route select lottery” described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 described above can be applied to this plural-sheet lottery.

  The lottery request unit 112 transmits lottery request information to the game server 30, whereby the game server 30 executes the lottery process. When the game server 30 acquires lottery request information from the user terminal 10, the game server 30 executes lottery processing and transmits lottery result information indicating a lottery result to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32.

  The lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information indicating the lottery result of the lottery process performed by the game server 30 via the communication unit 12. For example, in the case of a one-shot lottery, the lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information indicating one card selected by lottery as a card given to the user. On the other hand, in the case of a plurality of pieces of lottery, the lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information indicating a plurality of cards (for example, 14 cards) which are candidates for cards given to the user. In the case of the plural-piece lottery, the route information may be acquired from the game server 30 in association with the lottery result information, or may be set in advance in association with the positions of the 14 cards drawn. It may be For example, when the lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information, the display control unit 114 generates a card lottery screen based on the acquired lottery result information (for example, see FIG. 1) and causes the display unit 14 to display the card lottery screen.

  The selection result transmission unit 115 transmits card selection information (for example, an option ID) indicating the selected card to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12 based on the selection operation of the user on the card lottery screen. Further, the display control unit 114 updates the display mode of the card selected based on the selection operation (see FIG. 2). In addition, the display control unit 114 may cause the card (option) which can not be selected next to the card selected based on the selection operation to be darkened (see FIG. 3).

  In addition, the game control unit 110 transmits various setting information and history information according to the processing of the game to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12, and at the same time, transmits various setting information and history information to the communication unit 12. It acquires from the game server 30 via.

[Functional Configuration of Game Server 30]
Next, the functional configuration of the game server 30 will be described.
The game server 30 includes a server control unit 310 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 31 executing a program stored in the storage unit 35. The server control unit 310 controls each unit of the game server 30. For example, in response to a request from the user terminal 10, the server control unit 310 acquires user information from the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32, and stores the acquired user information in the storage unit 35. Here, the user information includes, for example, identification information (user ID) for identifying the user, various parameters in the game of the user, a card that the user can use in the game, a history of the result of the user's play, etc. is there. The user information is not limited to the user ID as long as the user can be identified, and may be a user name or the like. Also, the server control unit 310 executes the lottery process based on the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10. The functional configuration regarding the lottery process will be described in detail later.

  Here, various data of the game stored in the storage unit 35 will be described in detail. For example, the storage unit 35 includes a user data storage unit 351, a card master data storage unit 352, a possessed card data storage unit 353, an item data storage unit 354, and a lottery data storage unit 355.

  The user data storage unit 351 stores user information of a user who plays a game on the user terminal 10. For example, the user data storage unit 351 stores, as user data, a user ID and a user name, various parameters whose values change according to the progress of the game, and the like.

  The card master data storage unit 352 stores master data (card master data) of cards prepared in the game. FIG. 9 is a view showing an example of data of card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352. As shown in FIG. In the illustrated card master data, card information such as a card ID, an application, a card name, a card image, a rarity, an attribute, and a character parameter are associated and set.

  The card ID is identification information that can be identified for each type of card. For example, as card types, cards having different card names or cards having different rarities even if the card names are the same are identified as different types of cards. The application is a classification according to the application of the card in the game, and a character, a weapon, an armor or the like is set as indicated by each card. The card name is the name of each card, and is the name of a character, a weapon, an armor or the like. The card image is an image representing at least a part of aspects (shape, shape, name, etc.) of characters, weapons, armors, etc. of each card, and is, for example, an illustration drawn on the card. The rarity is an index indicating the degree of rarity of each card, and is divided into, for example, five levels of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in order from low to high. The higher the rarity, the more valuable the card is for the user, and the higher the attack and defense value or the higher the upper limit. The user is more likely to be able to advantageously advance the battle by using a card with high rarity. Also, for example, in the card lottery, the selection ratio of cards may be set according to the rarity. The attribute is information indicating an attack that the character of the card indicating the character is good at. For example, the attributes are associated with fire, water, or trees that are superior to inferior each other. For example, a fire character can be heavily damaged when a water character attacks, a water character can be greatly damaged when a wood character attacks, and a wood character is a fire character If it attacks, it can do great damage.

  The character parameter is information whose value changes in accordance with the progress of the game, and includes, for example, the HP of each card (character), the attack power, the defense power, and the like. The value of the character parameter set in the card master data is an initial value when a card is given to the user. The HP is a value representing the physical strength and vitality of each card (character). The attack power is information indicating the attack power in the battle of each card (character). Defense power is information indicating the value of defense power in the battle of each card (character). These character parameters are changed in the course of the game, for example, by the battle outcome or card composition (a plurality of cards are put together into one card to increase the character parameter value). For example, battles can be advanced advantageously as the values of HP, attack power, defense power, etc. increase.

  The possessed card data storage unit 353 stores possessed card data for managing cards possessed by the respective users. For example, in the possessed card data, the user ID of the user is associated with the serial number (serial number) of the card possessed by the user, the card ID, the card name, the card image, the rarity, the character parameter, etc. Stored. The serial number is a number uniquely assigned to each card, and is information that can identify each card in the game. Even in the case of a card having the same card ID, different serial numbers are associated with each other when the card is possessed in plurality. When a card is given to the user, the value (initial value) of the master data of the card is stored in the card ID, card name, card image, rarity, and character parameter. Then, according to the progress of the game, the value of the character parameter of the possessed card data is updated as needed.

  The item data storage unit 354 stores data related to items given to the user as a benefit or a reward. The items include, for example, a recovery item having an effect of recovering the value of the reduced HP, a lottery ticket for which the lottery right is obtained, and the like.

  The lottery data storage unit 355 stores lottery data on the route select lottery. FIG. 10 is a view showing an example of lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355. As shown in FIG. For example, in the lottery data, an option ID, route information, a lottery card ID, a selection order parameter, an option flag, and the like are associated and stored. The option ID is identification information for identifying a card to be provided (i.e., an option) selected by the plural-piece lottery. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, 14 option IDs A to N are set for each of the 14 options of the cards A to N. The route information stores option IDs of cards (options) associated with the cards (options) identified by the option IDs as information indicating the association between a plurality of cards. For example, in the route information of the option ID “A”, option IDs “C” and “D” of options (cards C and D) connected by the option (card A) and the route information are stored. In addition, as route information indicating the route from the start to the first option, in the route information of the option ID “START (start)”, the option ID “A of option (card A and B) connected by start and route information And “B” are stored. For example, pre-set values are stored as these pieces of route information. The route information may store not only the option ID of the option on the left described in the route information but also the option ID of both the source and the destination connected in the route information.

  Note that multiple types of route information may be set in the route information, and in that case, when the route select lottery is executed, any one of the plurality of types of route information is selected. It is also good. The route information selection method may be selected according to a predetermined rule (for example, route information is selected according to the number of times of lottery), or may be selected randomly.

  The lottery card ID stores the card ID of the card selected by lottery as each option. The lottery is performed on a part or all of the card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352 as a lottery target. The lottery method may be a random lottery or a lottery according to a predetermined lottery rule. For example, the second option may have a higher probability of drawing a card with a higher value than the first option, or, similarly, the third option may be selected from the second option. However, the probability that a card with high value is drawn may be increased. A high-value card is, for example, a card with high rarity, aggression, defense and the like. Also, for each of the first option, the second option, and the third option, cards of the same rarity may be drawn, or even cards of the same attribute may be drawn. Good. Thus, the lottery method can be set arbitrarily.

  The card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen shown in FIG. 1 is generated based on the information of the option ID, the route information, and the lottery card ID described above.

  The selection order parameter is information indicating whether or not the card displayed as an option on the card lottery screen is selected, and information indicating the selection order when it is selected. For example, “0” is stored in the selection order parameter of an unselected card (option). On the other hand, in the selection order parameter of the selected card (option), values “1”, “2”,... Indicating the order are stored according to the selected order. The option flag is information indicating whether the card (option) is selectable by the user. For example, “1” is stored in the selectable card (option), and “0” is stored in the non-selectable card (option). For example, if all cards (options) are not selected and all selection order parameters are "0", the option flag is set based on the route information associated with the option ID "START" (option The option flags of the IDs “A” and “B” are “1”, and the other option flags are “0”). Also, when any card (option) is selected, the option flag is based on the route information associated with the option ID of the slowest (ie, most recently selected) card (option) in selection order. It is set. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when only the card B with the option ID “B” is selected, the option flag is set based on the route information associated with the option ID “B” (option ID “ Option flags “E” and “E” are “1”, and other option flags are “0”). Also, when the card E is selected after the card B, the value of the selection order parameter associated with the choice ID “E” is updated from “0” to “2”, and is associated with the choice ID “E” The option flag is set based on the route information being selected (the option flags of the option ID “K” and “L” are “1”, and the other option flags are “0”). Control for causing a selected card (option) to be displayed separately from unselected cards (options) on the card lottery screen shown in FIGS. Control or the like to darken the possible cards (options) is performed.

  Next, the functional configuration regarding the route selection lottery process in the server control unit 310 will be described in detail. For example, the server control unit 310 includes a lottery processing unit 311, and based on the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10, in the case of a route select lottery, executes a lottery process of lottery a plurality of sheets. The lottery method may be a random lottery in which a part or all of the card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352 is a lottery target, or may be a lottery based on a predetermined lottery rule. . The card lottery may be executed inside the lottery processing unit 311 or may be executed by an external lottery unit (for example, a server device different from the game server 30). When the external lottery unit is executed, the lottery processing unit 311 acquires the lottery result executed by the external lottery unit. The lottery processing unit 311 updates the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the lottery result, and transmits lottery result information based on the lottery data to the user terminal 10, and the lottery results of the plurality of cards And route information indicating the association between the cards. In addition, when the lottery processing unit 311 acquires, from the user terminal 10, card selection information indicating a card selected by the user's selection operation among a plurality of cards, it is possible to select next based on the selected card and route information. Decide your choices. Hereinafter, the configuration of the lottery processing unit 311 will be specifically described.

For example, the lottery processing unit 311 includes a presentation unit 312, a selection unit 313, an option determination unit 314, and an assignment unit 315.
The presentation unit 312 presents a plurality of cards selected by lottery and route information indicating association between the plurality of cards. For example, when a lottery is performed based on lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10 and a plurality of cards serving as options are selected, the presentation unit 312 selects lottery data corresponding to the lottery result as a lottery data storage unit It reads from 355 and transmits lottery result information based on lottery data to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32. Thereby, in the user terminal 10, a card lottery image including a plurality of cards selected by lottery and route information indicating an association between the plurality of cards is displayed on a card lottery screen based on the lottery result information .

  Selection unit 313 selects a card based on the user's selection operation from among a plurality of card options presented by presentation unit 312 (that is, a plurality of card options displayed on the card lottery screen in user terminal 10). Select in order. For example, when the selection unit 313 acquires card selection information transmitted from the user terminal 10 based on the user's selection operation, the selection unit 313 selects lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the acquired card selection information. Update selection order parameters.

  For example, the selection unit 313 selects a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards by sequentially selecting cards based on the user's selection operation. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of cards (options) selected by lottery are divided into a plurality of stages (for example, three stages), and the order of stages set in advance (first sheet) It is possible to select according to the option, the second option, and the third option).

  The option determining unit 314 determines the next selectable card (option) based on the route information between the card selected by the selecting unit 313 and another card based on the user's selection operation. The option determining unit 314 determines the next selectable card (option) by determining the next non-selectable card based on the route information of the selected card and the other card. It is also good. That is, the option determining unit 314 determines the next selectable card (option) based on the route information of the card selected immediately before and the other cards. Then, the option determining unit 314 updates the option flag of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the above determination result, and the information based on the updated lottery data is transmitted to the user via the communication unit 32. It transmits to the terminal 10.

  The giving unit 315 gives the card selected by the selecting unit 313 to the user. For example, the assignment unit 315 associates the card ID of the card selected by the selection unit 313 with the user ID of the user, and stores the card ID in the possession card data storage unit 353. As a result, the user can use the provided card as a possessed card in play.

[Operation of lottery process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the operation of the route selection lottery process executed by the lottery processing unit 311 of the game server 30 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the route select lottery process according to the present embodiment.

  First, upon acquiring the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10, the lottery processing unit 311 performs a card lottery to draw a plurality of (for example, 14) cards as choices (step S100). Then, lottery result information is transmitted to the user terminal 10 based on the lottery data including the card IDs of the plurality of (eg, 14) cards and the route information. Thereby, the lottery processing unit 311 presents the lottery card and the route information (step S102). Based on the lottery result information, the display control unit 114 of the user terminal 10 displays a card lottery image including the lottery card and the route information on the card lottery screen (see FIG. 1).

  Next, the lottery processing unit 311 acquires card selection information indicating the selected card from the user terminal 10 based on the user's selection operation (first sheet selection operation) on the card lottery screen of the user terminal 10. Further, the lottery processing unit 311 updates the selection order parameter of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the acquired card selection information (step S104).

  Next, the lottery processing unit 311 selects the next selectable card (for example, the second card) based on the route information of the card selected based on the user's selection operation and another card. The option) is determined (step S106). Then, based on the determination result, the lottery processing unit 311 updates the option flag of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355, and the user based on the updated lottery data is transmitted to the user via the communication unit 32. It transmits to the terminal 10 (step S108).

  Next, the lottery processing unit 311 acquires card selection information indicating the selected card from the user terminal 10 based on the selection operation (second selection operation) of the user on the card lottery screen of the user terminal 10. Further, the lottery processing unit 311 updates the selection order parameter of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the acquired card selection information (step S110).

  Then, the lottery processing unit 311 determines whether a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards have been selected by the user's selection operation (step S112). If it is determined that a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards have not been selected (NO), the lottery processing unit 311 proceeds to the processing of step S106 and proceeds to the user's selection operation (second sheet selection operation). Based on the route information of the card selected based on the other cards, a selectable card (option) is determined next (e.g., the third card).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S112 that a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards have been selected (YES), the lottery processing unit 311 selects the predetermined number (for example, three) of cards selected Grant to For example, the lottery processing unit 311 stores the card ID of the selected predetermined number (for example, three) of cards and the user ID of the user in the possessing card data of the possessing card data storage unit 353 and updates it. .

[Summary of First Embodiment]
As described above, the lottery processing unit 311 of the game server 30 (an example of the game apparatus) according to the present embodiment includes the presentation unit 312, the selection unit 313, the option determination unit 314, and the assignment unit 315. There is. The presentation unit 312 includes a plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery and route information indicating an association between the plurality of cards (an example of information capable of visually recognizing the association between the objects based on the association information) To present. The selection unit 313 sequentially selects an object from among the plurality of cards presented by the presentation unit 312 based on the user's selection operation. The option determining unit 314 determines the next selectable card based on the route information of the card selected immediately before and the other cards. The assignment unit 315 associates the card selected by the selection unit 313 with a user ID (an example of identification information) for identifying the user.

  Thus, when the user sequentially selects a card to be given to the user among the plurality of cards selected by lottery, the game server 30 determines, based on the route information of the card selected immediately before and the other cards. Next, in order to determine selectable cards, the user selects a better card among the options restricted by the route information, and the attractiveness of the lottery in the game can be enhanced.

  For example, the selection unit 313 selects a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards by sequentially selecting a card (an example of an object) based on a user's selection operation. As a result, the game server 30 gives the user a predetermined number of cards selected by the user itself, so the possibility that the user can acquire a desired card is increased, and the user's willingness to perform lottery can be enhanced. In addition, since the game server 30 limits the number of cards that can be acquired by the user (for example, cards that can be acquired in one lottery) to a predetermined number, the importance of selection increases compared to the case where there is no restriction. Can be enhanced.

  A plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery is divided into a plurality of stages, and can be selected accordingly in the order of preset stages. As a result, the game server 30 does not select a predetermined number of cards from the whole of the drawn cards, but allows the user to select the cards in the order of stages from the cards divided into stages, so that the user can select The cards will be selected while taking into consideration the route of cards that can be selected in the subsequent stages, and it is possible to enhance the attractiveness of the lottery in the game.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the information of each card is basically displayed (i.e., disclosed) for all the plurality of (for example, 14) cards selected by the lottery. However, the card information of some cards may not be disclosed, or only part of the card information may be disclosed.

  For example, the presentation unit 312 of the lottery processing unit 311 presents, in a non-disclosure manner, information on part or all of at least some of the plurality of cards selected by lottery.

  FIG. 12 is a view showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 12, card information is not disclosed for a part of options to be selected for the third sheet. Specifically, the portion corresponding to card I, card M, and card N shown in FIG. 1 is “?”, And it is not possible to know which card is the card selected by lottery in the portion It has become.

  Also, with respect to a part of options to be selected for the second sheet, the card information is not disclosed, but only part of the card information is disclosed. Specifically, although the portion corresponding to card C and card E shown in FIG. 1 is “?”, Only the rarity of the card is indicated by the “★” mark (in which the rarity is indicated by the number of ★) It is displayed to understand. In addition to rarity, part of the information to be disclosed may be specific parameters such as attributes and aggression. In this way, when cards that include non-disclosure cards that include some or all of the card information are included in the option, the user places hopes on the non-disclosure cards if the desired card is not present in the disclosed cards. Can also be selected.

  In addition, the presentation part 312 discloses the information of all the cards, after the selection is decided by the user's selection operation, as the card in which a part or all of the information is not disclosed. For example, since the selection is not determined even when the selection confirmation screen GP10 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, the card in which part or all of the card information is not disclosed is similarly not disclosed. Since the selection is confirmed when the user taps on the selection confirmation button B1, the presentation unit 312 may disclose information that was not disclosed. Alternatively, the presentation unit 312 may disclose information that was not disclosed when the selected card is given to the user after all of the predetermined number (for example, three) have been selected.

  In addition, the lottery processing unit 311 also displays a card in which all of the card information is not disclosed in advance (in the card lottery screen) in the same manner as other cards (cards which disclose a part or all of the card information). It is drawn to the previous) and it is decided what card it is. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the lottery processing unit 311 performs a lottery when the user selects a card for which the card information is not disclosed in advance without performing a lottery in advance. You may decide if there is any.

  In addition, the presentation unit 312 may change the information to be disclosed or the information to be non-disclosed about at least a part of the cards based on the number of times of the lottery. Here, as described above, the number of lottery is the number of lottery in which the user can acquire a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards in one lottery.

  For example, in the case of a lottery (step-up) in which the advantage for the user increases as the number of times increases, such as the probability of discharging high-value cards increases as the number of times of lottery increases, the presenting unit 312 increases the number of times of lottery As it becomes, the number of undisclosed cards may be reduced (that is, cards that were initially undisclosed may be gradually disclosed at each draw). Alternatively, the presentation unit 312 may increase the amount of partial information disclosed in the non-disclosure card as the number of lottery increases.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the card lottery screen after step-up. For example, if the example shown in FIG. 12 is the Nth (N is a natural number) lottery, in the (N + 1) th lottery, the information to be undisclosed is changed as shown in FIG. For example, the card N which has not been disclosed in the Nth lottery is disclosed in the N + 1th lottery. In addition, although information corresponding to only rarity was disclosed in the N + 1th lottery for the portion corresponding to the card C illustrated in FIG. 1, the attack power parameter (here, “1600” in the N + 1 lottery) ) Has been added and disclosed. As the number of lotteries increases, all card information may eventually be disclosed. Also, initially all cards may be undisclosed. As described above, if the information to be disclosed is increased according to the number of lottery, it becomes easy to acquire a desired card, and therefore, the user can continue to increase the motivation to perform the lottery.

  Note that the presentation unit 312 is configured to disclose information or non-disclosure about at least a part of the cards based on the number of cards given to the user (the number of cards associated with the user ID) instead of the number of lottery. Information may be changed. An increase in the number of cards given to the user corresponds to an increase in the number of times of the above-mentioned lottery. Also in this case, if the information to be disclosed is increased according to the number of cards given to the user, it becomes easy to obtain the desired card, so that the user is continuously motivated to perform the lottery. can do.

  Moreover, FIG. 14 is a figure which shows the example of data of the lottery data which concern on this embodiment. The lottery data shown in the drawing is different from the data example of the lottery data shown in FIG. 10 in that the card information disclosure / non-disclosure flag is added. In the present embodiment, the lottery processing unit 311 controls the disclosure / non-disclosure flag of the card information based on the number of times of lottery or the number of cards given to the user (the number of cards associated with the user ID). The lottery result information based on the lottery data including the card information disclosure / non-disclosure flag is transmitted to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32. Thereby, in the user terminal 10, a plurality of cards selected by lottery and route information indicating association between the plurality of cards are displayed on the card lottery screen based on the lottery result information, and the card information is disclosed Display / non-display of card information is performed based on the / non-disclosure flag.

Summary of Second Embodiment
As described above, in the game server 30 (an example of a game device) according to the present embodiment, the presenting unit 312 performs at least a part of a plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery. Present some or all of the information as non-disclosure.

  In this way, the game server 30 includes a non-disclosed card as part or all of the information in the option, whereby the card on which the information is disclosed does not have the card desired by the user. Since the user can make a selection and make a selection, it is possible to enhance the attractiveness of the lottery in the game.

  For example, the presentation unit 312 determines the number of times of drawing or the number of cards (an example of an object) associated with identification information (for example, user ID) for identifying the user (that is, the number of cards given to the user). Based on the information disclosed or undisclosed about at least some cards may be changed.

  As a result, the game server 30 has more information disclosed on the card as the lottery is performed, and it becomes easier to acquire a desired card, so that the user can be motivated to continue the lottery.

  In addition, the card information of only the first choice is disclosed in the first lottery, and the card information of the second lottery is disclosed in the first lottery, and the third lottery is performed in the third lottery. The stages of disclosure may be different depending on the number of lotteries, so that up to options of (in short all options) are disclosed. That is, as the number of lottery increases, the presentation unit 312 calls only the first option for which the card information is disclosed, the second option, and the third option (that is, all the options). It may be increased stepwise. As a result, as the lottery is performed, the card information can be seen to the end of the branch of the reverse tree structure.

  In this manner, a plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery is divided into a plurality of stages and can be selected accordingly in the order of preset stages, and the presentation unit 312 determines the number of times of lottery or a user The disclosure or non-disclosure of information may be determined in stages, based on the number of cards associated with identification information (eg, user ID) to identify .

  As a result, the game server 30 increases the number of cards for which information is disclosed at each stage and makes it easier to acquire a desired card as the lottery is performed, and therefore, the user is encouraged to continue the lottery. Can.

  Note that a plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery may be divided into many (for example, 15) stages. In that case, since the cards (options) of all the stages can not be displayed on the card lottery screen at one time, the presentation unit 312 displays only a part of the stages including the stage in which the user performs the selection operation. The portion displayed may be scrolled as the user makes a selection. In this case, the undisplayed portion of the card may correspond to a non-disclosed card.

  In addition, the presentation unit 312 may increase the information to be undisclosed as the number of lottery is increased. Instead, the rarity or the like of the drawn cards may be made high. By doing so, it is possible to give the user a sense of expectation for the cards that can be obtained.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, in the route indicated by the route information, the route once branched does not rejoin, but a route that rejoins may be set. FIG. 15 is a view showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. The illustrated example differs from the example shown in FIG. 1 in that there is a rejoining route from the card B to the card D and a rejoining route from the card E to the card M. That is, although the card M is a route only via the card F in the example shown in FIG. 1, the card M can also be routed via the card E in the example shown in FIG. Similarly, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the card D is also a route that only passes through the card A, but in the example shown in FIG. 15, it is also possible to pass through the card B. By providing a rejoining route in this way, there will be multiple via routes for card selection. By doing this, it is possible to expand the range of route selection when the user selects a card.

  Also, in the example shown in FIG. 15, cards that can be selected for each Nth sheet, such as the first, second, third, etc., have been determined, but the order of such selection has not been determined. May be FIG. 16 is a view showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen when the order of selection is not determined. In the illustrated example, there are a rejoining route from card D to card E, a rejoining route from card B to card N, and a rejoining route from card N to card M. In such a case, for example, the card A, the card D, and the card E may be selected in the order of the card A, the card E, and the card E, regardless of the order of the first, second, and third sheets. It is also possible to select N and the card M in this order. The card E can be selected second (in the order of the card B and card E) or in the third (in the order of the card A, the card D and the card E). By doing this, the width of route selection when the user selects a card can be further broadened.

Fourth Embodiment
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that three cards are selected in one lottery, but the lottery may be performed many times by dividing into one card. In that case, for example, the value for one lottery may be 1/3. Also, conversely, it is possible to increase the price and to increase the number of times of selection. For example, after 3 cards have been selected, the fourth card (or the fifth card, or the sixth card, etc.) is selected by paying a predetermined charge additionally and consuming the game currency. In this case, if there is no longer a route to be selected, it may loop back to the start, in which case the card already selected will be the next card to be skipped. May be selectable.

  FIG. 17 is a view for explaining an example of card selection on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, after the user selects the first card A, the second card D, and the third card I in this order, one more is added due to payment of a predetermined fee and consumption of in-game currency. It becomes selectable. However, after card I, there is no more route to select, so the process returns to the start. In this case, three cards of the card B, the card C from which the already selected card A has been skipped, and the card J from which the already selected card A and card D have been selected become selectable options. In the illustrated example, the card C is selected as the fourth card. In this way, it is also possible to acquire all the cards you want depending on the number of lotteries. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the user's willingness to perform the lottery. In addition, if the drawing is repeated by additionally paying a predetermined charge or consuming the game currency, it is also possible to acquire all of the drawn cards (for example, all of the 14 cards).

Fifth Embodiment
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which association between a plurality of cards displayed on the card lottery screen can be changed will be described. The presentation unit 312 according to the present embodiment changes the association between a plurality of presented cards when a predetermined change condition is satisfied.

  For example, in the card lottery screen shown in FIG. 1, when a predetermined change condition is satisfied, the arrangement of some or all of the 14 cards can be shuffled and rearranged. The predetermined change condition that enables the shuffle may require a consideration such as, for example, payment of a predetermined charge or consumption of an in-game currency. For example, a shuffle button may be displayed on the card lottery screen for performing shuffle by payment of a predetermined charge or consumption of in-game currency, and the shuffle may be performed by the user operating the shuffle button. . Note that the shuffle may be executable according to a preset shuffle executable condition without requiring any consideration. The shuffle executable condition may be a condition that can be executed at a frequency with respect to the number of lottery (for example, once for five lotterys), every predetermined date (for example, once a day), etc. . Alternatively, shuffle may be performed randomly. Alternatively, shuffling may always be possible. Also, a limit may be placed on the number of times that can be shuffled. In addition, shuffle may be performed in each of the first option, the second option, and the third option.

  In addition, when changing the association between a plurality of cards, the presentation unit 312 may shuffle or change route information instead of or in addition to shuffling and rearranging the arrangement of cards. For example, the presentation unit 312 may change only the route information between cards while leaving the arrangement of cards unchanged, or may change both the arrangement of cards and the route information between cards.

  For example, in the arrangement of cards and the route information shown in FIG. 1, when both of the card G and the card N are the cards desired by the user, only one of them can be acquired, but the arrangement of the cards and the route information Depending on the shuffle result, you may be able to get both by shuffle and change.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the presentation unit 312 satisfies the predetermined change condition, the presentation unit 312 changes the association between the presented plurality of cards, thereby obtaining an expectation that the user can acquire a desired card. Can be given. Also, depending on the shuffled result, the result may be less favorable to the user than before the shuffle. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to consider whether or not to shuffle, etc., the timing of performing the shuffle, etc., and it is possible to improve the attractiveness of the lottery in the game.

Sixth Embodiment
Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a privilege is given by passing a specific route when the user selects a card.
FIG. 18 is a view showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the illustrated example, a lottery ticket is set as a benefit on the route from the card B to the card E. Also, on the route from the card C to the card H, a recovery item is set as a benefit.

The benefit corresponds to, for example, a bonus, and may be various items such as a lottery ticket and a recovery item, and is not limited thereto, and some merit may be obtained. For example, the benefit may be such that the price for making a lottery is reduced by half, non-disclosed card information is disclosed, the right of shuffle is granted, or the like.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of data of benefit data according to the present embodiment. The privilege data to be shown is a route ID, route information, and a benefit are associated with each other. The route ID is identification information for identifying a route. The route information stores the route information of the route ID (the choice ID of the card connected by the route information). In the benefit, information (for example, an item ID in the case of an item) indicating the set benefit is stored only in the route for which the benefit is set. The benefit data is stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 in addition to the lottery data. Granting unit 315 refers to the benefit data, and when the card selection order selected by the user according to the user's selection operation is via the route for which the benefit is set, the benefit set for that route Give.

  Thus, the route information (an example of the association information) is information indicating a route (path) from the selected one card (an example of the object) to the card that can be selected next, and the giving unit 315 The unit), when a plurality of cards are selected in order via a specific route, gives the privilege set for the specific route. In this way, the game server 30 not only allows the user to sequentially select the cards to be awarded among the plurality of cards selected by lottery, but also gives benefits according to the route at the time of selection.
