<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration of a game system 1 according to the present embodiment. The game system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a game server 10 and a plurality of terminals 20. The game server 10 and the terminal 20 are communicably connected to each other via a communication network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN, or mobile communication.

The game server 10 is a device that plays a part of the functions of the terminal 20 in providing the game, such as managing various information regarding the player and executing a part of the process of the game. The game server 10 may be configured by one or a plurality of information processing devices, or may be configured by using a virtual server (cloud server or the like).

The terminal 20 is a terminal that provides a game to the player, and the player can execute the game according to the present embodiment by operating the terminal 20. The terminal 20 is, for example, a computer such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet, a personal computer, an arcade game device, or a consumer game device.

<Game outline>
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a screen example of the game according to the present embodiment. On the game screen of the game provided by the game system 1 (hereinafter referred to as “main game”), there are a total of 12 squares of 3 squares in the horizontal direction and 4 squares in the vertical direction. The numbers from 12 to 12 are assigned. Before starting the battle, the player selects a ten characters from the characters in his hand to organize a deck to be used for the battle. It should be noted that only one character (hereinafter, referred to as “character having a strong attribute”) (character having a predetermined attribute) having a strength attribute equal to or larger than a predetermined attribute can be incorporated in the deck. You may do it.

Further, when organizing the deck, the player selects one character, which is designated as a special character called a leader, from the 10 characters. The deck is a term that means a group in which a plurality of characters are combined. The character designated by the player as a leader is placed in the 11th square (the square to the right of the 10th square). Similarly, the opponent's leader is placed in the second square (the square to the right of the first square).

This game has various play modes. For example, in this game, a mode in which one player plays alone (hereinafter, referred to as “single battle mode”) and a mode in which two or more players form a tag and play (hereinafter, “tag battle mode”) Is provided). The single battle mode is further divided into a mode in which the opponent is a computer and a mode in which the opponent is another player. Similarly, the tag battle mode is divided into a mode in which the opponent is a computer and a mode in which the opponent is another player. In a battle, the side that attacks first after the battle starts is called the "first strike", and the side that attacks next is called the "second strike".

In the single battle mode, a player who plays a battle plays a game by alternately performing a procedure of selecting one or more characters from a plurality of characters used in the battle and placing them in an empty space. When the character is placed in an empty space, the character attacks the opponent character (including the leader) in the surrounding space. This procedure is repeated alternately, and the side who first sets the opponent's leader's HP (hit points) to zero wins.

More specifically, for example, the player is displayed in the character selection area SA in the game screen among the characters other than the leader included in his/her deck in one turn which is a unit of progress of the game 4 By selecting two characters from the body characters (P1 to P4) and arranging them on the square, the leader or character of the opponent is attacked. In the next turn, the opponent places the two characters included in the opponent's deck in the open squares to attack the player's leader or character. Whether the player is the first player (the one who attacks the opponent on the odd numbered turns such as the first turn, the third turn, the fifth turn) or the second player (the second turn, the fourth turn, the sixth turn, etc.) It will be decided at random at the start of the game as to whether or not the opponent will attack the opponent on the second turn.

In the tag battle mode, a plurality of players belonging to each team who competes with each other may select a character from a plurality of characters used by each player in the battle and place it in an empty space. The battle is performed by alternately performing the procedure that the player continuously performs with the opponent team. When the character is placed in an empty space, the character attacks characters (including the leader) of the opponent team in the surrounding space. By repeating this procedure alternately, the side that first sets the HP (hit points) of the leader of the opponent team to zero wins.

When the plurality of players belonging to the team is two, the two players are included in the character selection area SA in the game screen among the characters other than the leader included in the deck of each player in one turn. One of the two characters displayed in is placed in the vacant cell in order. A player who arranges the character first in one turn is called a “first player”, and a player who arranges the character later in one turn is called a “second player”. Which of the two players is the first player is randomly determined. The first player attacks the leader or character of the opponent by selecting one character from the two characters (P1, P2) displayed on the left side of the character selection area SA and arranging it on the square. .. Subsequently, the rear player selects one character from the two characters (P3, P4) displayed on the right side of the character selection area SA and places it in the cell, thereby leading the opponent or character of the opponent. Attack.

Here, in the conventional specification of this game, in the single battle mode, four characters displayed in the character selection area SA are selected from the nine characters other than the leader included in the deck in the turn in which the player first attacks. Characters are randomly extracted, and in the next turn when the player attacks, of the 9 characters other than the leader, 5 characters that have not been extracted by that turn are randomly extracted. Was there. For example, when the characters 1 to 9 are present, when the characters 4, 7, 3, and 1 are extracted in the turn in which the player first attacks, the characters 4, 7, and 3 are in the turn in which the player next attacks. Four characters were randomly extracted from the characters other than 1 (that is, the characters 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9).

Similarly, in the tag battle mode, two characters (P1) displayed on the left side of the character selection area SA are selected from nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of the first player on the turn the player first attacks. , P2) are randomly extracted, and two (P3, P4) characters displayed on the right side of the character selection area SA are randomly selected from the nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of the succeeding player. I was trying to extract it. Further, in the subsequent turn in which the first player and the second player attack, to the left of the character selection area SA from among the nine characters other than the leader included in the player's deck that have not been extracted by that turn. The two displayed characters (P1, P2) are randomly extracted, and the character selection area is selected from the characters not extracted by the turn among the nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of the succeeding player. Two characters (P3, P4) displayed on the right side of the SA are randomly extracted.

Such specifications are provided in order to average the strengths of the players by automatically selecting (limiting) the characters that can be used in the battle (characters that can be placed on the board) on the game system side. ..

However, according to the conventional specifications, the characters that can be placed on the board at the start of the battle are limited to four randomly determined characters in the deck in the single battle mode, and random in the deck in the tag battle mode. It will be limited to the two bodies decided in. Therefore, whether or not a character advantageous for the battle can be arranged on the board at the start of the battle depends on luck. Further, as described above, in this game, only one character having a strong attribute can be incorporated in the deck. In this case, luck also depends on whether a character having a strong attribute can be placed on the board in the early turn. Therefore, under such a mechanism, luck depends on whether or not the player can win the battle, which may impair the interest of the player.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of character groups are extracted in advance as a character used by the player in the battle (as a character to be displayed in the character selection area SA in FIG. 2), and the order of the extracted plurality of character groups is designated. It is possible to receive (designation of the order of the character groups displayed in the character selection area SA) from the player before the competition starts. As a result, the player can select a character to be used in the early stage of the battle so that the battle can be favorably advanced, and thus the player's interest can be enhanced.

<Hardware configuration>
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the game server 10 and the terminal 20.

<Function block configuration>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the game server 10. The game server 10 includes a communication unit 101, a game control unit 102, and a storage unit 103. The communication unit 101 and the game control unit 102 can be realized by the CPU 11 of the game server 10 executing a program stored in the storage device 12. Further, the program can be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium storing the program may be a computer-readable non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory storage medium is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a storage medium such as a USB memory or a CD-ROM. Further, the storage unit 103 can be realized by using the storage device 12 included in the game server 10.

The communication unit 101 has a function of transmitting/receiving data to/from the terminal 20 using the communication IF 13.

The game control unit 102 provides a function performed on the game server 10 side among various functions necessary for executing the present game. For example, the game control unit 102 has a function of selecting a player as an opponent, a function of advancing the battle when the opponent is a computer, a function of calculating a score given to the player at the end of the battle, and a character possessed by each player. And a function of managing various settings made by each player in the game.

The game control unit 102 further includes an extraction unit 1021, a determination unit 1022, and a switching unit 1023.

The extraction unit 1021 has a function of extracting a plurality of character groups including a predetermined number of characters from the characters (characters attacking the opponent) other than the leader included in the deck. In the extraction processing, for example, the characters in the deck used by the player in the battle may be rearranged at random, and a plurality of character groups may be extracted by dividing the characters in the arranged order by a predetermined number. The predetermined number may be, for example, four in the single battle mode or two in the tag battle mode, but is not limited to this.

Further, the extraction unit 1021 extracts the character group so that the character having the strong attribute (the character having the predetermined attribute) is included in any one of the plurality of character groups to be extracted. Good. Such processing may be executed when the number of characters included in the characters (a plurality of characters) other than the leader included in the deck is not a multiple of a predetermined number. Thus, for example, when the number of characters other than the leader included in the deck is nine and the predetermined number is four, the remaining one character after extracting two character groups of four is strong. It is possible to prevent a character having a strong attribute from being applied to the board and being unable to put out a character having a strong attribute on the board.

The determining unit 1022 accepts from the player the designation of the order of the plurality of character groups extracted by the extracting unit 1021 (the designation of the display order of the character groups displayed in the character selection area SA shown in FIG. 2), and thus the plurality of characters It has the function of determining the order of groups.

The switching unit 1023 has a function of switching a character group (characters displayed in the character selection area SA shown in FIG. 2) to participate in the battle in the order determined by the determination unit 1022.

The storage unit 103 stores a player management DB that manages game data for each player who plays this game. The player management DB stores each player's level, attributes, characters owned by each player, a deck created by each player, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the terminal 20. The terminal 20 includes a communication unit 201, a UI unit 202, a game control unit 203, and a storage unit 204. The communication unit 201, the UI unit 202, and the game control unit 203 can be realized by the CPU 11 of the terminal 20 executing a program stored in the storage device 12. Further, the program can be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium storing the program may be a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium. The non-temporary storage medium is not particularly limited, but may be a storage medium such as a USB memory or a CD-ROM. Further, the storage unit 204 can be realized by using the storage device 12 included in the terminal 20.

The communication unit 201 has a function of performing various kinds of communication with the game server 10 using the communication IF 13.

The UI unit 202 has a process of receiving various inputs from the player and a function of displaying various game screens on the display. Further, the UI unit 202 displays the game screen according to the instruction from the game server 10. For example, when the game server 10 receives an instruction to gray out some buttons, the UI unit 202 displays the game screen in which the buttons are grayed out.

The game control unit 203 cooperates with the game server 10 to provide various functions necessary for executing the present game. For example, the game control unit 203 provides a function of receiving character data to be drawn on the game screen from the game server 10, a function of transmitting the game data to the game server 10 in order to back up the game data possessed by the terminal 20, and the like. To do.

The storage unit 204 stores game data necessary for the game control unit 203 to execute the present game. Image data of a character, a game scenario, etc. are stored in the game data.

In this embodiment, the terminal 20 may include the extraction unit 1021, the determination unit 1022, and the switching unit 1023 included in the game server 10. That is, the game server 10 or the terminal 20 may be referred to as a game device.

<Processing procedure>
Next, the processing procedure performed by the game server 10 according to the present embodiment will be described separately for the single battle mode and the tag battle mode.

(Single match mode)
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example (No. 1) of the processing procedure in the single battle mode. The numbers 1 to 9 in FIG. 6 indicate nine characters other than the leader included in the deck. The numbers are given for the sake of convenience so that the characters can be uniquely identified, and do not mean any order. Further, the character 8 is assumed to be a character having a strong attribute. Further, the example of FIG. 6 shows an example in which the player is the first player. When the player is the second player, the first turn, the third turn, the fifth turn, and the seventh turn in FIG. 6 are replaced with the second turn, the fourth turn, the sixth turn, and the eighth turn, respectively.

In step S10, the extraction unit 1021 selects a plurality of character groups including a predetermined number (hereinafter, four in the description of FIG. 6) of the nine characters other than the leader included in the deck. Then 2) extract. At this time, the extraction unit 1021 may extract the character group so that the character 8 having a strong attribute is included in any one of the plurality of character groups to be extracted. In the example of FIG. 6, a character group including characters 4, 7, 3 and 1 (referred to as a character group G1) and a character group including characters 6, 8, 9 and 5 (referred to as a character group G2) are extracted. ing.

Subsequently, the determining unit 1022 determines the display order of the two character groups by receiving the designation of the display order of the two extracted character groups from the player. When the player specifies the display order in the order of the character group G1 and the character group G2, the process proceeds to step S11-1, and when the player specifies the display order in the order of the character group G2 and the character group G1, the process proceeds to step S11-2. move on.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for accepting designation of the display order of character groups from the player in the single battle mode. On the screen shown in FIG. 7A, the characters included in the extracted character group G1 and character group G2 are displayed in the upper and lower rows. When the player selects the upper character group G1 in A of FIG. 7, the process proceeds to step S11-1 of FIG. When the player selects the lower character group G2 in A of FIG. 7, the process proceeds to step S11-2 of FIG. FIG. 7B shows a display example when the player selects the lower character group G2. Returning to FIG. 6, the description will be continued.

In step S11-1, the switching unit 1023 sets the character group (characters to be displayed in P1 to P4 of the character selection area SA of FIG. 2) to participate in the battle as the characters 4, 7, 3 and 1 for the first turn. On the third turn, the characters 6, 8, 9 and 5 are switched. When the character switching by the switching unit 1023 has completed one cycle (in the example of FIG. 6, the third turn or the fourth turn when the opponent attacks is completed), the process proceeds to step S12-1.

In step S12-1, the extraction unit 1021 performs again the process of extracting a plurality (two) of character groups including a predetermined number (four) of characters. In the example of FIG. 6, a character group including characters 2, 7, 4 and 1 (character group G1) and a character group including characters 9, 5, 6 and 3 (character group G2) are extracted. ing.

At this time, the extraction unit 1021 may exclude one of the characters placed on the board in the turn at which the player made the last attack from being included in the extracted character group. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, it is assumed that the characters placed on the board by the player are the characters 8 and 5 at the turn (that is, the third turn) at which the player last made an attack. In this case, one of the characters 8 and 5 (here, the character 8) may not be included in the extracted character group G1 and character group G2.

Subsequently, the determination unit 1022 does not accept the designation of the display order of the extracted (two) character groups from the player, but determines the order in which the extraction unit 1021 extracts the character groups again for the plurality of character groups. You may make it determine as a display order. In the example of FIG. 6, it is assumed that the extraction unit 1021 extracts the character groups in the order of the character group G1 and the character group G2. In this case, the switching unit 1023 sets the character group (characters displayed in the character selection area SA in FIG. 2) to participate in the battle to the characters 2, 7, 4, and 1 for the fifth turn, and the character for the seventh turn. Switch to 9, 5, 6 and 3.

In step S11-2, the switching unit 1023 sets the character group (characters to be displayed in the character selection area SA in FIG. 2) to participate in the battle to the characters 6, 8, 9 and 5 for the first turn, and the third turn. Is switched to characters 4, 7, 3 and 1. The processing procedure of step S12-2 is the same as that of step S12-1, and therefore description thereof is omitted.

After the ninth turn, the processing described in step S12-1 or step S12-2 is repeated until the battle is completed.

In the processing procedure described above, when the switching of the character by the switching unit 1023 has completed one cycle (in the example of FIG. 6, the third turn or the fourth turn when the opponent attacks is completed), steps S12-1 or S12. Instead of proceeding to -2, the process may proceed to step S12-1 or S12-2 before the switching of the character by the switching unit 1023 has completed. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, when the first turn or the second turn when the opponent attacks is completed, the process proceeds to step S12-1 or S12-2, and the extraction unit 1021 selects a character group including a predetermined number of characters. The process of extracting a plurality of times may be performed again. Even after the character switching by the switching unit 1023 has completed one cycle, the character groups are switched in the same order, and when the character groups are switched a predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to step S12-1 or S12-2. Good. For example, in the example of proceeding to step S11-1 in FIG. 6, when the fourth turn in which the opponent attacks is completed, the character groups are switched again in the order of the character group G1 and the character group G2 to switch the character group. When the process is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 6 times or 8 times), the process may proceed to step S12-1.

That is, when the extraction unit 1021 performs the switching of the character group by the switching unit 1023 a predetermined number of times (for example, the number of times of switching the character group makes one round, the number of times less than one round, or the number of times more than one round). In addition, the process of extracting a plurality of character groups including a predetermined number of characters from the plurality of characters may be performed again.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example (No. 2) of the processing procedure in the single battle mode. The processing procedure of step S20, step S21-1 and step S21-2 is the same as the processing procedure of step S10, step S11-1 and step S11-2 in FIG.

In step S22-1, the extraction unit 1021 again performs a process of extracting a plurality (two) of character groups including a predetermined number (four) of characters. In the example of FIG. 6, a character group including characters 2, 7, 4 and 1 (character group G1) and a character group including characters 9, 5, 6 and 3 (character group G2) are extracted. ing.

At this time, the extraction unit 1021 determines that a character that was not included in any character group when the character group was previously extracted is one of the plurality of character groups extracted when the character group is extracted again. A plurality of character groups may be extracted so as to be included in the group. For example, the character 2 not included in the character group G1 and the character group G2 in the processing procedure of step S20 may be included in the character group G1 or the character group G2 extracted in step S22-1. In the example of FIG. 8, the character 2 is extracted so as to be included in the character group G1. Other points that are not particularly mentioned may be the same as step S12-1 in FIG.

(Tag battle mode)
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example (part 1) of the processing procedure in the tag battle mode. The numbers A1 to A9 in FIG. 9 indicate nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of player A. The numbers B1 to B9 indicate nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of player B. The numbers are given for the sake of convenience so that the characters can be uniquely identified, and do not mean any order. Further, the character A7 and the character B3 are assumed to be characters having strong attributes.

Further, the example of FIG. 9 shows an example in which the team is the first player. Further, in the following description, it is assumed that the player A is the first player and the player B is the second player. If the player is the second player, the first turn, the third turn, the fifth turn, the seventh turn, the ninth turn, the eleventh turn, the thirteenth turn, and the fifteenth turn in FIG. 9 are the second turn, respectively. It replaces the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th and 16th turns.

In step S30, the extraction unit 1021 selects a predetermined character from among the nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of each player in the team (among the plurality of characters possessed by each of the plurality of players in the team). A plurality of character groups (here, two) are extracted for each player, including a number (hereinafter, two in the description of FIG. 9) of characters. At this time, the extraction unit 1021 may extract the character group such that the character A7 and the character B3 having a strong attribute are included in any one of the plurality of character groups to be extracted. In the example of FIG. 9, for the player A, a character group including the characters A4 and A7 (referred to as a character group GA1) and a character group including the characters A3 and A1 (referred to as a character group GA2) are extracted. For player B, a character group including characters B7 and B9 (character group GB1) and a character group including characters B1 and B3 (character group GB2) are extracted.

Subsequently, the determining unit 1022 accepts the designation of the display order of the plurality of character groups for each player extracted by the extracting unit 1021 from any one of the plurality of players, and thus the plurality of characters for each player. Determine the display order of groups. Any one of the plurality of players may be the first player, the second player, or may be randomly selected, for example.

Note that the determining unit 1022 may receive designation of the display order of the plurality of character groups for each player extracted by the extracting unit 1021, from the plurality of players. For example, when the number of players to which the team belongs is odd, the determination unit 1022 may determine the display order of the plurality of character groups for each player by majority. When the number of players to which the team belongs is an even number, the determination unit 1022 determines the display order of the plurality of character groups for each player by majority, and when not determined by majority, it determines according to a random or predetermined rule. You may do it.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for accepting the designation of the display order of the character groups in the tag battle mode. On the screen shown in A of FIG. 10, the characters included in the two character groups extracted for each player are displayed for each character group. More specifically, the characters included in the character group GA1 and the character group GB1 are displayed in the upper stage of the screen, and the characters included in the character group GA2 and the character group GB2 are displayed in the lower stage of the screen. FIG. 10B shows a display example when the player selects the lower character group. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the player A or the player B selects the lower character group (that is, the player A or the player B specifies the display order in the order of the character groups GA2 and GB2, the character groups GA1 and GB1). I do. Returning to FIG. 9, the description will be continued.

In step S31, the extraction unit 1021 selects a plurality of character groups (two in this case) including a predetermined number (two) of characters from nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of each player. )Extract. In the example of FIG. 9, for the player A, a character group including characters A6 and A8 (referred to as a character group GA3) and a character group including characters A9 and A5 (referred to as a character group GA4) are extracted. For player B, a character group including characters B5 and B4 (referred to as character group GB3) and a character group including characters B2 and B6 (referred to as character group GB4) are extracted. The process of extracting the character groups GA3, GA4, GB3, and GB4 may be collectively executed when the character groups GA1, GA2, GB1, and GB2 are extracted in step S30.

Subsequently, the switching unit 1023 sets the character group (characters to be displayed in P1 to P4 of the character selection area SA of FIG. 2) to be participated in the battle as the characters A3, A1, B1 and B3 for the first turn, and the third turn. The eyes are changed to the characters A4, A7, B7, and B9, and the fifth turn is changed to the characters A6, A8, B5, and B4, and the seventh turn is changed to the characters A9, A5, B2, and B6. When the switching of the character by the switching unit 1023 has completed one cycle (in the example of FIG. 9, the seventh turn or the eighth turn when the opponent attacks is completed), the process proceeds to step S32.

In step S32, a process of again extracting a plurality of character groups (here, four) for each player from the nine characters other than the leader included in the deck of each player, including a predetermined number (two) of characters. I do. In the example of FIG. 9, the player A includes a character group including characters A2 and A7 (character group GA1), a character group including characters A4 and A8 (character group GA2), and characters A9 and A1. A character group (character group GA3) and a character group including characters A6 and A3 (character group GA4) are extracted. For player B, a character group including characters B1 and B9 (referred to as a character group GB1), a character group including characters B3 and B4 (referred to as a character group GB2), and a character group including characters B5 and B7 ( A character group GB3) and a character group including characters B8 and B6 (character group GB4) are extracted.

At this time, the extraction unit 1021 may not include the character placed on the board in the turn at which each player made the last attack, in the character group to be extracted. For example, in the example of FIG. 9, the character groups GA1 to character groups to be extracted for the character (character A5) arranged by the player A on the board in the turn at which the player A last made an attack (that is, the seventh turn). It may not be included in GA4. Similarly, the character group (character B2) arranged by the player B on the board in the last turn of the player B (that is, the seventh turn) is not included in the extracted character groups GB1 to GB4. You may do it.

Subsequently, the determining unit 1022 does not accept the designation of the display order of the extracted (four) character groups from the player, but determines the order in which the extracting unit 1021 extracts the character groups again for the plurality of character groups. You may make it determine as a display order. In the example of FIG. 9, the extraction unit 1021 extracts character groups GA1, GA2, GA3, and GA4 for player A in this order, and for player B, character group GB1 and character group GB2. , The character group GB3 and the character group GB4 are extracted in this order. In this case, the switching unit 1023 sets the character group (characters to be displayed in the character selection area SA in FIG. 2) to participate in the battle to the characters A2, A7, B1 and B9 for the ninth turn, and the characters for the eleventh turn. The characters are switched to A4, A8, B3 and B4, the characters A9, A1, B5 and B7 for the 13th turn, and the characters A6, A3, B8 and B6 for the 15th turn.

After the 17th turn, the process described in step S32 is repeated until the battle is completed.

In the processing procedure described above, if the switching of the character by the switching unit 1023 has completed one cycle (in the example of FIG. 9, the seventh turn or the eighth turn when the opponent attacks is completed), the process proceeds to step S32. Alternatively, the process may proceed to step S32 before the switching unit 1023 completes the character switching. For example, in the example of FIG. 9, when the first turn, the second turn, the third turn, the fourth turn, or the fifth turn or the sixth turn is completed, the process proceeds to step S32, and the extraction unit 1021 sets a predetermined number. The process of extracting a plurality of character groups including the character may be performed again. In addition, after the switching of the characters by the switching unit 1023 has completed one cycle, the character groups may be switched in the same order, and if the switching of the character groups has been performed a predetermined number of times, the process may proceed to step S32. For example, in the example of FIG. 9, the character group GA2/GB2, the character group GA1/GB1, the character group GA3/GB3, and the character group GA4/GB4 are again displayed in this order even after the eighth turn in which the opponent attacks is completed. The group may be switched, and when the character group is switched a predetermined number of times (for example, 6 times or 8 times), the process may proceed to step S32.

That is, when the extraction unit 1021 performs the switching of the character group by the switching unit 1023 a predetermined number of times (for example, the number of times of switching the character group makes one round, the number of times less than one round, or the number of times more than one round). In addition, the process of extracting a plurality of character groups including a predetermined number of characters from the plurality of characters may be performed again.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an example (No. 2) of the processing procedure in the tag battle mode. The processing procedures of steps S40 and S41 are the same as the processing procedures of steps S30 and S31 in FIG. 9, respectively, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.

In step S42, a process of extracting a plurality of character groups (here, four) for each player from the nine characters other than the leader included in each player's deck is extracted. ..

At this time, the extraction unit 1021 determines that a character that was not included in any character group when the character group was previously extracted is one of the plurality of character groups extracted when the character group is extracted again. A plurality of character groups may be extracted so as to be included in the group.

For example, in the example of FIG. 11, the characters A2 and B8 that are not included in the character groups GA1 to GA4 and the character groups GB1 to GB4 in the processing procedure of steps S40 and S41 are processed in the processing procedure of step S42. It may be included in any one of the character groups GA1 to GA4 extracted by the extraction unit 1021 and any one of the character groups GB1 to GB4. In the example of FIG. 11, the character A2 is extracted so as to be included in the character group GA1, and the character B8 is extracted so as to be included in the character group GB1. Other points that are not particularly mentioned may be the same as step S32 in FIG.
