Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to game programs.

Conventionally, battle games (competitive games) using player objects such as characters and cards have become widespread. In such a battle-type game, the player can not only play against a computer (machine) but also play against a player at a remote location via a network such as the Internet.

For example, there is known a battle-type card game in which cards are played against each other in a battle field (see Patent Document 1). In such a game, many types of cards are prepared, and the player composes a deck to be used at the time of battle with the possessed cards, and plays against the opponent using the deck. By preparing many types of cards, it is worthwhile to formulate a game strategy, and it is possible to incorporate users who normally play the game into the game. In addition, since many types of cards are prepared, it can be expected that players will be incorporated into the game for one purpose of collecting cards with high rarity.

In playing a competitive card game, the player needs to learn the effects and functions of the cards used in the game. Learning the effects and functions of many types of cards was not easy for users who do not usually play games, and was a barrier to incorporating them into competitive card games. By simply reducing the types of cards, it may be possible for users who do not normally play games to engage in competitive card games, but it makes the game strategy monotonous, and users who have taken in it will soon get bored. there is a possibility. In order to suppress the monotony of this game, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a game machine capable of using only the card information group recorded in the external recording means for reading permission in the game. Has been done. As a result, the player can play the game in a state where the card information that can be used by the player is limited as compared with the conventional case, and can enjoy the play without feeling the monotony of the game.

JP-A-2002-11245

The purpose is to provide a competitive game that can lower the barriers to entry of users while maintaining the fun of the game.

The game program according to this embodiment is executed on a computer connected to a plurality of user terminals via a network. The game based on the game program is a battle-type game in which the first and second players play against each other by putting out player objects on the battle field of the game screen every turn. The game program sets the computer according to the operation information of the first and second players in the player object placement phase and the switching means for switching the turn consisting of the player object placement phase, the player object engagement phase, and the total attack phase. The player object of the first player in the player object engagement phase and the placement means of arranging the player object on the battle field from the hand of each of the first and second players while consuming the action power value of each of the first and second players. And the player object of the second player are placed at the same position on the battle field, the attack value, resistance value and attribute of the player object of the first player, and the attack value, resistance value and attribute of the player object of the second player. Based on, the engagement process between the player object of the first player and the player object of the second player is executed, one of the player object of the first player and the player object of the second player is excluded from the battle field, and the other is excluded from the battle field. Based on the attack value and positional relationship of the player object of the first player remaining in the battle field in the total attack phase, and the engagement means of leaving both in the battle field or excluding both from the battle field. The total attack means that updates the physical strength value and updates the physical strength value of the first player based on the attack value and the positional relationship of the player object of the second player remaining in the battle field, and the physical strength value of each of the first and second players. When a new player object of the same player is superimposed on the player object remaining in the battle field in the player object placement phase and the winning / losing determination means for determining the victory or defeat according to the above, the attack value and the resistance value of the remaining player object. Is added and updated to the attack value and resistance value of the new player object, and functions as an update means for updating the attributes of the remaining player object to the attributes of the new player object.

Hereinafter, the game server device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the entire game system including the game server device according to the present embodiment. The game server device 11 is connected to a plurality of information processing terminal devices (user terminals) 15 operated by the player via a network 13 including the Internet. The user (player) who operates the user terminal 15 accesses the game server device 11 via the network 13, and uses a player of another user terminal 15 or a non-player character (game program) and a player object to play a battle game (competition). You can play in a type game). The "player object" is digital content used by a player in a game, and typical examples thereof include a card and a character. Of course, the player object is not limited to these, and may be, for example, an object that imitates a weapon such as a sword or a gun, an object that imitates an armor such as armor or a shield, or a player's avatar.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game server device 11 temporarily stores arithmetic processing data in an arithmetic processing unit 111 such as a CPU that performs various arithmetic processing via a data / control bus 113, such as an SRAM or DRAM. It is composed of a temporary storage unit 115, a storage device 117 such as a hard disk in which game programs and various data are stored, a communication device 119 that communicates with the user terminal 15, an operation device, a display, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the game server device 11 has an opponent determination unit 123, a game parameter setting unit 125, a card distribution unit 127, a card arrangement processing unit 129, a card update processing unit 131, and a card engagement processing as functions related to the progress of the game. It has a unit 133, a total attack processing unit 135, an action recovery unit 137, and a win / loss determination unit 139. Details of each function related to the progress of these games will be described later. Further, the game server device 11 includes a control unit 121 that controls the progress of the game, a battle result recording unit 141 that records the battle results in association with the player ID, a game screen generation processing unit 143 that generates a game screen, and a game screen generation processing unit 143. It has a communication unit 145 and the like that communicate with the user terminal.

The rules of a competitive card game using cards as the player objects exemplified in the present embodiment will be briefly described. The battle-type card game is a game in which the first and second players, who have a maximum of five cards in their hand, play against each other by putting out cards from their hand in a common battle field every turn. When the cards of the first and second players are stacked on the battlefield, the cards engage with each other, the winning card remains in the battlefield, and the losing card is removed from the battlefield. The physical strength value of the second player is reduced by the attack of the first player according to the card of the first player remaining in the battle field, and the attack of the second player according to the card of the second player remaining in the battle field reduces the physical strength value of the first player. Health value is reduced. The player whose physical strength value becomes zero first, or the player whose physical strength value is low at the end of a predetermined turn loses, and the other player wins.

In the following description, the first player is simply referred to as a "player" and the second player is referred to as an "opponent", and the game will be described from the player's point of view as appropriate. In the battle-type card game, the player and the opponent play against each other through the characters in the game. Therefore, in the game, it is the player character operated by the player and the opponent character operated by the opponent who have the hand, and even if the attack is performed according to the cards remaining in the battle field, the physical strength value is increased by the attack. It is also the player character and the opponent character that are reduced. However, in the present embodiment, in order to make the explanation easy to understand, it is assumed that the player and the opponent play cards against each other.

In the competitive card game, the game screen displayed on the user terminal 15 of the player will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in the center of the game screen 200, a battle field 201 having a plurality of card arrangement areas 202 arranged in a triangular grid pattern is arranged. Cards are placed in this card placement area 202. On the game screen 200, an object 204 showing an advantage / disadvantage relationship between attributes, a surrender button 205 for the player to input "surrender" to the game server device 11 in the middle of the game, and an action of recovering to the next turn with the number of remaining turns. Progress area 206 for displaying power values, placement end button 207 for the player to enter the end of card placement into the game server device 11, card request for the player to enter a new card request into the game server device 11. Button 209 is arranged. Further, on the game screen 200, a player's hand placement area 211 in which a maximum of five cards can be placed, an open deck 213 in which the surface of the cards to be distributed to the player in the next turn is disclosed, and the rest of the player. Area 215 that displays the action power value, player character 217 that displays the remaining physical strength value of the player, area 219 that displays the player's time, and the opponent's hand placement area 221 that can place up to 5 cards. , Open deck 223 where the surface of the card to be distributed to the opponent in the next turn is disclosed, Area 225 which displays the remaining physical strength value of the opponent, Opponent character 227 where the remaining physical strength value of the opponent is displayed Is placed. Although the competitive card game is not displayed on the game screen 200, it has closed decks 214 and 224 in which the surface of the next card to be drawn is not disclosed, in addition to the open decks 213 and 223. The "activity to recover in the next turn" in the progress area 206 may be changed for each turn.

As shown in FIG. 5, three types of cards are used in a competitive card game. The three types of cards typically have different functions, and here they are a normal card, a resistance strengthening card, and an attack-only card. Attributes are assigned to each card. The three types of cards may refer to three types of normal cards having different attributes. "Attack" on the card indicates the attack value, "Resistance" indicates the resistance value, and "Activity consumption" indicates the activity consumption value. The attack value is a parameter referred to for reducing the resistance value of the opponent's card during card engagement, and is also a parameter referred to for reducing the opponent's physical strength value during a total attack. The resistance value is a parameter that indicates the physical strength value of the card itself. The action power consumption value is a parameter indicating the action power value consumed when the card is placed in the battle field 201. The pattern (color) of the card indicates the type of attribute. Advantages and disadvantages are defined in the attributes. For example, as shown in "Object 204 showing the relationship between advantages and disadvantages between attributes" in FIG. 4, there are three types of attributes, and a card with an attribute "blue" works favorably over a card with an attribute "red". , Cards with the attribute "red" are defined to work favorably over cards with the attribute "green", and cards with the attribute "green" are defined to work favorably over cards with the attribute "blue".

A normal card has an attack value, a resistance value, an action power consumption value, and an attribute associated with each other. Normal cards are the only cards that can attack your opponent and reduce their health, and can be placed anywhere in Battlefield 201. The resistance enhancement card has a resistance value, an action power consumption value, and an attribute associated with each other. The resistance strengthening card is a card for strengthening the resistance value of the own (player) card remaining in the battlefield 201, and can be placed only on the own (player) card remaining in the battlefield 201. it can. The attack value, the action power consumption value, and the attribute are associated with the attack card. The attack-only card is a card for attacking the opponent card remaining in the battlefield 201 and reducing the resistance value of the opponent card, and can be placed only on the opponent card remaining in the battlefield 201. it can. Since the use of the resistance enhancement card and the attack-only card is limited, they are also collectively referred to as a use-limited card.

As mentioned above, by narrowing down the cards used in the competitive card game to three types: normal cards, attack-only cards, and resistance-enhancing cards, it is easier to learn the functions of the cards and barriers to entry for users. I lowered it. In addition, normal cards can be placed anywhere in Battlefield 201, resistance enhancement cards can be placed only on your own (player's) card, and attack-only cards can be placed only on your opponent's card. The card placement rules, which tend to be complicated, have been simplified. Furthermore, the relationship between the advantages and disadvantages between the attributes was simplified by using three types of attributes and a three-way relationship. These also contribute to lowering the barriers to entry for users.

It should be noted that this embodiment does not deny that the cards used in the competitive card game include cards having functions other than the normal card, the resistance strengthening card, and the attack-only card. For example, a card used in a competitive card game may include a trap card that exerts a special effect. As a trap card, a card that can attack all the opponent cards remaining in the battle field 201 just by placing it in the battle field 201, a trap is activated by stacking the opponent cards, and the opponent card is activated. There are cards to be removed from Battlefield 201, traps are activated by stacking opponent cards, and cards to be added to your hand after removing the opponent card from Battlefield 201. Of course, since the trap card complicates the game, it is desirable that whether or not the trap card is used can be appropriately changed according to the instruction of the player via the user terminal 15. Including trap cards during a match makes it more difficult for the player to predict the opponent's card placement. Having a trap card suppresses the monotony of the game and reduces the possibility that the user who has incorporated it into the competitive card game will get tired of the game and leave.

The battle-type card game in the present embodiment proceeds as follows under the control of the control unit 121.
As shown in FIG. 6, the opponent determination unit 123 determines the opponent of the player (S01). For example, the opponent is determined according to the player rank of the player. The opponent determination unit 123 waits for an application for participation in a battle from the user terminal 15, and when it receives an application for participation in a battle from a player having the same or equivalent player rank, determines that player as an opponent.

When the opponent is determined, the game parameters are set by the game parameter setting unit 125 (S02). For example, as game parameters, the upper limit of the number of turns (number of turns), the player's time, the group of cards stacked on the open decks 213 and 223 and their order, the group of cards stacked on the closed decks 214 and 224 and their order. , The position of the card placed in the battlefield 201 at the start of the game, the physical strength value of the player and the opponent, the action power value of the player and the opponent, the action power value recovered every turn, the number of card placement areas 202 in the battlefield 201, etc. There is. These game parameters are set, for example, randomly by the game parameter setting unit 125. Of course, a part or all of the above game parameters may be set by the game parameter setting unit 125 according to the input operation of the player via the user terminal 15.

Next, according to the game parameters set in step S02, the card placement processing unit 129 places one card at a time from the player's open deck 213 and the opponent's open deck 223 into the battlefield 201 (S03). In addition, the card distribution unit 127 distributes three cards to the player in order from the top of the open deck 213, and three cards to the opponent in order from the top of the open deck 223 (S04). As a result of the processes of steps S03 and S04, the game screen 200 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the user terminal 15 of the player. The game screen 200 shown in FIG. 7 is appropriately used as a game screen at the start of a turn in the description below.

The turn begins when the cards are distributed to the player and the opponent by the card distribution unit 127. The turn consists of a card placement phase, a card engagement phase, and a total attack phase.

The card placement phase is a phase in which the player and the opponent place cards in the battlefield 201, respectively. The game server device 11 executes the card placement process described later according to the operation information received from the user terminal 15 of the player and the user terminal 15 of the opponent, respectively (S05). As a result, the cards placed on the battlefield 201 are confirmed.

The card engagement phase is a phase in which cards are engaged with each other. When the player's card and the opponent's card are overlapped at the same position in the battle field 201, the game server device 11 executes the card engagement process described later (S06). As a result, the cards remaining in the battlefield 201 are confirmed.

The total attack phase is a phase in which a player and an opponent engage with each other. The game server device 11 executes the total attack process described later according to the player card and the opponent card remaining in the battle field 201 (S07). As a result, the physical strength values of the player and the opponent are updated. The turn ends at the end of the total attack phase.

When the victory / defeat determination unit 139 satisfies the condition that at least one of the player and the opponent has a physical strength value of zero or less (win / loss condition) (S08; Yes), one of the losers indicating that the physical strength value is zero or less. Is determined, and the other win is determined (S10). Further, even if the winning / losing condition is not satisfied (S08; No), when the number of turns reaches the upper limit number, here 30, (S09; Yes), the winning / losing determination unit 139 has physical strength at that time. The loser with the smaller value is determined, and the winner with the larger physical strength value is determined (S10). Of course, it may be a draw judgment. When the victory or defeat is decided, the progress process of the game is finished and the game is finished. At the end of the game, the control unit 121 updates the battle results of the player and the opponent recorded in the battle result recording unit 141 (S11). For example, the number of wins of the player determined to win is increased by one, and the number of losses of the player determined to lose is increased by one.

When the winning / losing conditions are not satisfied (S08; No) and the number of turns has not reached the upper limit (S09; No), the action power recovery unit 137 determines the action power of the player and the opponent. The value is restored by a predetermined value (S12), and the card distribution unit 127 distributes one card to each player and the opponent from the open decks 213 and 223 (S04), and the next turn is started. The turn is repeated until the winning / losing condition indicating that the physical strength value of at least one of the player and the opponent is zero or less is satisfied (S08; Yes) or the number of turns reaches the upper limit value (S09; Yes).

Hereinafter, the server processing of the game server device 11 in the card placement phase, the card engagement phase, and the total attack phase will be described in detail. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the server processing based on the player's operation information input via the user terminal 15 will be described, but the game server device 11 operates the opponent via the user terminal 15. Similar processing can be performed based on the information.

(Card placement phase)
The server processing (card arrangement processing) by the game server device 11 in the card arrangement phase will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 13.
In the card placement phase, the player can perform an operation of arranging the cards in his hand in the card arrangement area 202 of the battlefield 201 (card arrangement operation) and an operation of drawing a new card (card request operation). The time during which these operations can be performed is limited, and the player can repeat the above operations until the time, which is 30 seconds in this case, has elapsed (see area 219 in FIG. 7). The operations during the card placement phase are not disclosed to each other. Therefore, the player performs the above operation while predicting which card is placed where by the opponent and whether the card is newly drawn.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the card is distributed to the player by the card distribution unit 127, the card arrangement processing unit 129 starts to reduce the holding time (S500). In addition, the card arrangement processing unit 129 deactivates (darkens) a card whose action power consumption value is higher than the player's current action power value among the player's hand displayed on the game screen 200, and performs the action power. A card whose consumption value is equal to or less than the player's current action power value is activated (brightened) (S501). As a result, the player can immediately recognize the cards that can be placed in the battle field 201, so that the card placement strategy can be intensively examined while the time limit is limited. This also contributes to shortening the time and making the game progress smoothly.

When the card placement operation information is received from the user terminal 15 of the player (S502; Yes), the card placement processing unit 129 selects the card selected by the player from the hand into the card placement area of the battle field 201 selected by the player. While arranging it at 202 (S503), the action power consumption value of the card is subtracted from the action power value of the player (S504).

The screen change from the reception of the card placement operation information in the step S502 to the update of the player's action force value in the step S504 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 10. As shown in FIG. 10, the player touches a normal card having an attack value "4", a resistance value "7", an action power consumption value "5", and an attribute "red" on the game screen 200 with a finger, and then touches the normal card with the finger as it is. By sliding and releasing your finger near the intended card placement area 202, you can release the normal card with attack value "4", resistance value "7", action power consumption value "5", and attribute "red". It can be placed in the nearby card placement area 202. By this card arrangement operation, the information of the card selected by the player and the information of the card arrangement area 202 selected by the player can be input to the game server device 11 as the card arrangement operation information. Along with this card placement operation, the player's action power value displayed in the area 215 is the value "11" (see FIG. 7) before the card placement operation minus the card action power consumption value "5". It will be updated to "6". As shown in FIG. 10, since the card placement operation by the player was performed when 9 seconds had passed since the card placement phase was started, the holding time displayed in the area 219 was 30 seconds (FIG. 10). 7) has been updated to 21 seconds. As long as the remaining time is 21 seconds or less, the player can continue to perform the card placement operation and the card request operation within the range of the remaining action power value "8" displayed in the area 215.

When the card request operation information is received from the user terminal 15 of the player instead of the card arrangement operation information (S502; No, S505; Yes), the card distribution unit 127 sends one card from the player's closed deck 214 to the player. At the same time as distributing (S506), a predetermined value, here, the action power consumption value "3" is subtracted from the action power value of the player (S507).

The screen change from the reception of the card request operation information in the step S505 to the update of the action power value in the step S507 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 11. As shown in FIG. 11, the player can input the card request operation information to the game server device 11 by tapping the card request button 209 on the game screen 200. By this card request operation, normal cards with attack value "9", resistance value "8", action power consumption value "8", and attribute "green" are added to the player's hand placement area 211 from the closed deck 214, and area 215 The player's action power value displayed in is updated to a value "8" obtained by subtracting the action power consumption value "3" associated with the card request operation from the value "11" (see FIG. 7) before the card placement operation. As shown in FIG. 11, since the card request operation by the player was performed when 5 seconds had elapsed from the start of the card placement phase, the holding time displayed in the area 219 was 30 seconds (FIG. 11). 7) has been updated to 25 seconds. As long as the remaining time is 25 seconds or less, the player can continue to perform the card placement operation and the card request operation within the range of the remaining action power value "8" displayed in the area 215.

The player can repeatedly execute the above-mentioned card placement operation and card request operation until the possessed action power value becomes zero as long as the time allows (S508; No, S509; No). The player may choose not to perform either the card placement operation or the card request operation in order to preserve the action power value in the next turn (S502; No, S505; No). When the placement end button 207 is tapped by the player (S508; Yes), or when the player's time has elapsed (S508; No, S509; Yes), the player operation is terminated and the player operation is terminated via the connector “A”. The process shifts to step S510 of FIG.

As described above, it is one of the features of this game that the player can perform not only the card arrangement operation but also the card request operation. The player knows the opponent's hand at the beginning of the turn. Without a card request operation, the player only has to predict which card in the opponent's hand that he knows will be placed where, and repeating such a monotonous prediction will make the player bored. It could be. With the card request operation, the player also needs to be aware that "the opponent may have acquired a new card", which complicates the player's prediction of the opponent's card placement. Let me. On the other hand, the player may be able to compete with the opponent by acquiring a new card in exchange for the energy consumption when the card in his hand cannot compete with the opponent. However, since the cards distributed to the player by the card request operation are supplied from the closed deck, the player cannot grasp the newly acquired cards in advance. Moreover, since the action power value is consumed in the same manner as the card arrangement operation, the player has to be careful about performing the card request operation. However, if the newly acquired card by the card request operation is a card that exceeds expectations, the battle situation can be advanced, and sometimes the inferior battle situation may be reversed. On the other hand, if the newly acquired card is less than expected, the battle situation cannot be changed, and the action power value is consumed, which may further worsen the battle situation. In this way, the card request operation has the potential to significantly change the battle situation, and can be an element that enhances the interest of the competitive card game.

As shown in FIG. 9, when a new player card (new player card) is superposed on the player card (remaining player card) remaining in the battlefield 201 (S510; Yes), the card update processing unit 131 It is determined whether the new player card is a resistance enhancement card or a normal card (S511).

When the new player card is a resistance strengthening card, the card update processing unit 131 adds and updates the resistance value of the new player card (resistance strengthening card) to the resistance value of the remaining player card (S512). At this time, the attack value and attributes of the remaining player card are maintained. When the residual player card and the new player card have the same attribute, the value obtained by doubling the resistance value of the new player card (card for strengthening resistance) is added to the resistance value of the residual player card. May be good.

When the new player card is a normal card, the card update processing unit 131 adds and updates the attack value and resistance value of the new player card (normal card) to the attack value and resistance value of the remaining player card (S513), and is new. It is determined whether or not the attribute of the player card is the same as the attribute of the remaining player card (S514). When the attributes of the new player card and the remaining player card are different (S514; No), the card update processing unit 131 updates the attributes of the remaining player card to the attributes of the new player card (S515). When the attributes of the remaining player card and the new player card are the same (S514; Yes), the attributes of the remaining player card are maintained (S516). In step S513, when the remaining player card and the new player card have the same attributes, the value obtained by doubling the attack value of the new player card (normal card) is added to the attack value of the remaining player card, and the new player A value obtained by doubling the resistance value of a card (normal card) may be added to the resistance value of the remaining player card.

See FIGS. 7, 12, and 13 for screen changes from when normal cards of players having different attributes are stacked on the remaining player cards in steps S510 and S511 until the attributes of the remaining player cards are updated in step S515. I will explain. As shown in FIG. 7, the remaining player cards having the attack value “3”, the resistance value “5”, and the attribute “blue” remaining in the battle field 201 have an attack value “4” and resistance as shown in FIG. When new player cards with a value of "7" and an attribute of "red" are stacked, the attack value of the remaining player card is the original value "3" and the attack value of the new player card "4", as shown in FIG. The resistance value is updated to the original value "5" plus the resistance value "7" of the new player card, and the attribute is updated from the original attribute "blue". The attribute of the new player card is updated to "red".

According to the above card update process, the player can arbitrarily change the attributes of the player card remaining in the battle field 201. In order to eliminate the player card remaining in the battlefield 201 from the battlefield 201, the opponent is an opponent card having the same attribute as the remaining player card and having an attack value larger than the resistance value of the remaining player card, or a remaining player. An opponent card, which is an attribute advantageous to the attribute of the card and has an attack value of 1/2 or more of the resistance value of the remaining player card, is to be stacked on the remaining player card. If such an opponent's card arrangement can be predicted, the player will remain on the remaining player card by stacking a normal card with an attribute advantageous to the attribute of the opponent's card that will be superimposed on the remaining player card. Opponent cards that have been piled up to eliminate player cards can be eliminated from Battlefield 201. The important point here is that there is a possibility that the opponent can be revenge by simply changing the attribute. Therefore, the normal card to be stacked on one's own card may be a so-called weak card having a small attack value or resistance value. Even weak cards that tend to be unnecessary in the hand can change the attributes of the remaining player cards, which can be an important factor in the player's card placement strategy. In this way, being able to change the attributes of the cards remaining in the battlefield 201 has a great influence on the battle situation of the game, and can be an element for improving the enjoyment of the game.

(Card engagement phase)
The card engagement process will be described as the server process in the card engagement phase with reference to FIGS. 14 to 19.
In the card battle phase, when a player card and an opponent's card are stacked in the same position, the cards are engaged with each other and both remain in Battlefield 201, both are excluded from Battlefield 201, or one is in Battlefield. It is determined whether to remain in 201 and exclude the other from Battlefield 201.

As shown in FIG. 14, when a player card is stacked on an opponent's card in battlefield 201 (S60; Yes), the card engagement processing unit 133 indicates that the player card is an attack-only card or a normal card. It is determined whether or not there is (S61). When the player card is an attack-only card, the card engagement processing unit 133 executes the first engagement processing described later (S62). When the player card is a normal card, the card engagement processing unit 133 executes the second engagement processing described later (S63). When the player card and the opponent card are not arranged in the same card arrangement area 202, the engagement processing by the card engagement processing unit 133 is not executed (S60; No), and the process proceeds to the total attack processing described later. ..

(Card engagement phase; 1st engagement process)
The first engagement process executed when the player's attack-only card is stacked on the opponent card will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the card engagement processing unit 133 identifies the relationship between the attributes of the opponent card and the player card (attack-only card) superimposed on the opponent card (S620). When the attribute of the player card is more advantageous than the attribute of the opponent card, the card engagement processing unit 133 sets the attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement to twice the attack value of the card notation (S621), and battles. The attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement is subtracted from the resistance value of the opponent card (S624). When the attribute of the player card is the same as the attribute of the opponent card, the card engagement processing unit 133 sets the attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement to the attack value of the card notation (S622), and the resistance value of the opponent card. The attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement is subtracted from (S624). When the attribute of the player card is more disadvantageous than the attribute of the opponent card, the card engagement processing unit 133 sets the attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement to 1/2 times the attack value of the card notation (S623). , The attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement is subtracted from the resistance value of the opponent card (S624).

Since the player card is an attack-only card, the card engagement processing unit 133 removes the player card from the battlefield 201 at the end of the process of step S624 (S625). As a result of the process of step S624, when the resistance value of the opponent card is zero or less (S626; Yes), the card engagement processing unit 133 removes the opponent card from the battle field 201 (S627), and the resistance value of the opponent card. When is greater than zero (S626; No), the card engagement processing unit 133 leaves the opponent's card in battlefield 201 (S628).

(Card engagement phase; 2nd engagement process)
The second engagement process executed when the player's normal cards are stacked on the opponent's cards will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the card engagement processing unit 133 identifies the relationship between the attributes of the opponent card and the player card (normal card) superimposed on the opponent card (S630).

When the attribute of the player card is more advantageous than the attribute of the opponent card, the card engagement processing unit 133 sets the attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement to twice the attack value of the card notation, and at the time of card engagement of the opponent card. Set the attack value to 1/2 of the attack value shown on the card (S631), subtract the attack value of the player card during card engagement from the resistance value of the opponent card (S634), and play against the player card resistance value. The attack value of the opponent's card at the time of card engagement is subtracted (S635).

When the attributes of the player card are the same as the attributes of the opponent card, the card engagement processing unit 133 sets the attack value at the time of card engagement between the player card and the opponent card to the attack value indicated on the card (S632). The attack value of the player card during card engagement is subtracted from the resistance value of the opponent card (S634), and the attack value of the opponent card during card engagement is subtracted from the resistance value of the player card (S635).

When the attribute of the player card is more disadvantageous than the attribute of the opponent card, the card engagement processing unit 133 sets the attack value of the player card at the time of card engagement to 1/2 of the attack value of the card notation, and the card engagement of the opponent card. The attack value at the time is set to double (S633), the attack value at the time of card engagement of the player card is subtracted from the resistance value of the opponent card (S634), and the card engagement of the opponent card is performed from the resistance value of the player card. The attack value of is subtracted (S635).

After the processing of step S635, the card engagement processing unit 133 executes processing according to the residual value of the resistance value of the player card and the opponent card (S636). When the resistance value of both the player card and the opponent card is zero or less, the card engagement processing unit 133 causes both the player card and the opponent card to be excluded from the battle field 201 (S637). When the resistance value of the player card is zero or less and the resistance value of the opponent card is larger than zero, the card engagement processing unit 133 removes the player card from the battlefield 201 and leaves the opponent card in the battlefield 201 (S638). When the resistance value of the player card is greater than zero and the resistance value of the opponent card is zero or less, the card engagement processing unit 133 leaves the player card in the battlefield 201 and removes the opponent card from the battlefield 201 (S639). ). When both the player card and the opponent card have a resistance value greater than zero, the card engagement processing unit 133 leaves both the player card and the opponent card in the battlefield 201 (S640). In step S640, the card-to-card engagement process is executed again in the next turn.

See FIGS. 7, 17, 18, and 19 for screen changes from when the player's normal card is stacked on the opponent's card in step S60 of FIG. 14 until the second engagement process is completed in step S63. I will explain. As shown in FIG. 7, the opponent cards having the attack value "8", the resistance value "5", and the attribute "green" remaining in the battlefield 201 have the attack value "4" and the resistance as shown in FIG. When a player card (normal card) having a value of "7" and an attribute of "red" is stacked, as shown in FIG. 18, the opponent card is changed to a display mode indicating that the player card is engaged with the player card. .. For example, on a card having a display mode indicating that it is engaged, "in engagement" is indicated together with the attributes, attack value, and resistance value of each of the opponent card and the player card. As shown in object 204, which shows the relationship between advantages and disadvantages between attributes, the attribute "red" is advantageous over the attribute "green", so the attack value of the player card is doubled and the attack value of the opponent card is 1. The subtraction process is executed with / 2 times. The resistance value "5" of the opponent card is subtracted from the value "8" which is twice the attack value "4" of the player card, and the remaining value of the resistance value of the opponent card is "-3". On the other hand, the value "4", which is 1/2 times the attack value "8" of the opponent card, is subtracted from the resistance value "7" of the player card, and the remaining value of the resistance value of the player card indicates "3". As a result of the second engagement process, as shown in FIG. 19, the opponent card is removed from the battle field 201, and the player card remains in the battle field 201. The attack value of the player card remaining in the battle field 201 indicates "4" because it inherits the attack value before the card engagement, and the resistance value indicates the remaining value "3" of the resistance value after the engagement.

According to the above-mentioned card engagement process, the player can remove the opponent card from the battlefield 201 by superimposing the player card on the opponent card arranged in the battlefield 201. The important point here is that even if the card is weaker than the opponent's card, the attack value is smaller than the resistance value of the opponent's card, and the resistance value is smaller than the attack value of the opponent's card. If it is an attribute that is advantageous to the card, there is a possibility that the player card can be left in the battlefield 201 and the opponent card can be removed from the battlefield 201. Therefore, even a weak card that tends to be unnecessary in the hand can be excluded from the battlefield 201 by using the attribute, so that it cannot be disregarded in terms of the player's card placement strategy. In this way, establishing an advantageous / disadvantageous relationship between attributes can be an element for improving the interest of the game because it enables a weak player card to defeat a strong opponent card.

(Total attack phase)
The total attack phase will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 21.
In the total attack phase, the player makes a total attack on the opponent according to the attack value and positional relationship of the player cards remaining in the battlefield 201, and the opponent attacks the player according to the attack value and positional relationship of the opponent cards remaining in the battlefield 201. All-out attack, all-out attack processing is executed.

As shown in FIG. 20, when a player card remains in the battlefield 201 (S70; Yes), the total attack processing unit 135 determines whether or not there are consecutive adjacent player cards of the same attribute in the battlefield 201. Judgment (S71). When there are no consecutive adjacent player cards of the same attribute in the battlefield 201 (S71; No), the total attack processing unit 135 simply adds the attack values of each player card and adds the total of the attack values to the total attack of the player. Set to a value (S73). Then, the total attack value of the player is subtracted from the physical strength value of the opponent (S74). On the other hand, when n player cards having the same attribute are consecutively adjacent to each other (S71; Yes), the total attack processing unit 135 indicates the attack value at the time of the total attack of each of the n player cards on the card. It is set to n times the attack value (S72), the attack values at the time of the total attack of each player card are added, and the total is set to the total attack value of the player (S73). Then, the total attack value of the player is subtracted from the physical strength value of the opponent (S74). When no player card remains in the battlefield 201 (S70; No), the player does not attack the opponent and the total attack phase ends.

For example, when two player cards are adjacent to each other, the total attack processing unit 135 sets the attack value at the time of total attack of each of the two player cards to twice the attack value written on the card, and 4 When four player cards are adjacent to each other in succession, the attack value at the time of the total attack of each of the four player cards is set to four times the attack value indicated on the card. It should be noted that the attack value at the time of total attack of each consecutive adjacent player card of the same attribute should be larger than the attack value written on the card, and the coefficient to be multiplied by the attack value written on the card is 1. It can be set to any value above. It is desirable that the value of the coefficient is set so as to increase according to the number of consecutive adjacent player cards having the same attribute. It is difficult to increase the number of consecutively adjacent player cards of the same attribute because the opponent prevents the players from arranging the player cards of the same attribute so as to be adjacent to each other in succession. In return for realizing this difficult card arrangement, making the total attack value specially large leads to an improvement in the motivation of the player to realize a difficult card arrangement, and further contributes to an improvement in the interest of the game.

The screen change in the total attack process of FIG. 20 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, it is assumed that three player cards and one opponent card remain in the battlefield 201, and two of the three player cards have the same attribute and are adjacent to each other. As shown in FIG. 21, of the three player cards remaining in the battlefield 201, the player card with the attack value "3" and the player card with the attack value "5" have the same attribute "red". And next to each other. The total attack processing unit 135 sets the total attack value of the player card having an attack value of "3" to "6", which is twice the attack value "3" indicated on the card, and the attack value is set to "6". The attack value at the time of total attack of the player card of "5" is set to "10" which is twice the attack value "5" written on the card. In battlefield 201, the attack value of a player card having an attack value of "7" that is not adjacent to each other at the time of a total attack is set to the attack value "7" indicated on the card. The total attack processing unit 135 adds the attack values "6", "10", and "7" at the time of the total attack of each of the three player cards remaining in the battle field 201, and the total sum "23" of the player Set to the total attack value, and subtract the total attack value "23" from the opponent's physical strength value "300". As a result, as shown in FIG. 21, the physical strength value of the opponent displayed on the opponent character 227 is updated from "300" to "277".

On the other hand, since only one opponent card remains in the battlefield 201, the total attack processing unit 135 uses the attack value "7" written on the one opponent card as the total attack value of the opponent. It is set, and the total attack value "7" is subtracted from the player's physical strength value "300". As a result, as shown in FIG. 21, the physical strength value of the player displayed on the player character 217 is updated from "300" to "293".

When the total attack process is completed, the next turn is started when the physical strength values of both the player and the opponent are larger than zero and the number of turns is the upper limit, here, 30 has not been reached. At the start of the next turn, the action power recovery unit 137 recovers the action power values of the player and the opponent by 10, and the card distribution unit 127 discloses the open deck 213 to the player. One card is dealt, and one disclosed card of open deck 223 is dealt to the opponent. The next turn starts when the cards are distributed to the player and the opponent by the card distribution unit 127.

The screen changes from the end of the total attack process to the start of the next turn will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. As shown in FIG. 21, when the total attack process is completed, the physical strength value of the player displayed on the player character 217 is "293", and the physical strength value of the opponent displayed on the opponent character 227 is "". 277 ”, the current number of turns displayed in the progress area 206 is“ 1 ”, so it will switch to the next turn. As shown in FIG. 22, at the time of turn switching, the action power value of the player displayed in the area 215 is changed from the value "6" at the end of the total attack phase to the "action to recover to the next turn" in the progress area 206. The recovery value "10" shown in "Power" is added to the value "16", and the action power value of the opponent displayed in area 225 is the recovery value "8" from the value "8" at the end of the total attack phase. It is updated to the value "18" which is the sum of "10". Further, the holding time displayed in the area 219 is reset from the holding time "21 seconds" (see FIG. 21) at the end of the card placement phase to "30 seconds". In addition, the top attack value "5", resistance value "3", action power consumption value "5", and attribute "red" normal cards of the open deck 213 have been added to the player's hand placement area 211, and the open deck A normal card with an attack value of "5", a resistance value of "3", an action power consumption value of "5", and an attribute of "green" at the top of 223 is added to the opponent's hand placement area 221. The next turn is started on the game screen 200 shown in FIG.

In the total attack phase, changing the total attack value of the player according to not only the attack value of the player card remaining in the battle field 201 but also the positional relationship of the player card has a great influence on the card arrangement strategy by the player. In the present embodiment, by arranging cards of the same attribute side by side in succession, the attack value at the time of total attack of those cards is increased to twice, three times, etc., the attack value indicated on the card. Can be done. The important point here is that simply placing cards of the same attribute in succession can cause great damage to the opponent, so cards of the same attribute placed in succession have a small attack value, so-called weak. It may be a card. Even weak cards that tend to be unnecessary in your hand can be placed next to each other on cards with the same attributes to give damage to your opponent twice or three times the attack value shown on the card. Therefore, it can be an important factor in the player's card placement strategy. In this way, being able to increase the total attack value of the player by arranging the player card at a specific position in the battlefield 201 greatly affects the battle situation of the game, and can be an element for improving the enjoyment of the game.

The player and the opponent try to arrange the cards according to the common arrangement target of "consecutively adjoining cards of the same attribute" in order to increase the attack value at the time of total attack. Having a common placement goal indicates one direction in which the player anticipates the placement of the opponent's cards. If there is no common placement target, the player does not have to worry about the positional relationship with the opponent card remaining in the battlefield 201 when placing the card, so the player can play such a battle. It is difficult to predict the opponent's card placement. In this case, the luck of the player and the fulfillment of the hand are major factors that determine the outcome, and it is not interesting to predict the card arrangement of the opponent for each turn.

On the other hand, having a common placement goal allows us to predict to some extent how we want to place cards with each other. Therefore, the player considers the arrangement of cards exceeding the expectation of the opponent, and the opponent considers the arrangement of the cards exceeding the expectation of the player. In this way, having a common placement goal increases the fun of predicting each other's card placement.

Of course, the fulfillment of the cards in your hand is one factor that influences the battle situation, but as already explained, even if it is a so-called weak card with a small attack value or resistance value, you can use attributes or By using it as a card that updates the attributes of the remaining player card, it is possible to counter the strong card of the opponent. Therefore, it can be said that whether or not the prediction is correct is a major factor that determines the outcome, which is equal to or higher than the fulfillment of the cards in the hand. This is also one factor that increases the fun of predicting each other's card placement, improves the player's motivation to predict the card placement of the opponent, and contributes to improving the interest of the game.

Furthermore, by having a common placement target, it is possible to narrow down the card placement of the opponent that has a great influence on the battle situation, so it becomes easier for the player to predict the card placement of the opponent, and the time limit is limited. Even so, it is possible to consider the player's own card placement while anticipating the opponent's card placement. In addition, providing time when arranging cards creates new fun of making the best predictions within a limited time, and the player can advance the turns one after another. The game can be played even for a short time between movements without being restrained for a long time due to the progress of the game. This is one factor that lowers the barriers to entry for users.
