=== About the outline of the game ===
An outline of the game provided by the game system 1 will be described.
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment can provide a player (user) with a battle game using a game medium. Below, the battle | competition type card game played using a game card as an example of a game medium is demonstrated. Since this game card is a game card as digital content, it becomes a virtual card used in a virtual space on the game.

<Competitive card game>
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment can provide a battle-type card game in which winning / losing is determined by causing a character selected by the player to battle with the character of the opponent player.

  In this competitive card game, first, the player selects a character for performing the battle. In the present embodiment, a player can own a plurality of game cards (virtual cards used in a virtual space on the game), and a game character is associated with each game card. Therefore, when one or a plurality of game cards used for the battle are selected from among the plurality of game cards owned by the player, the character corresponding to the selected game card is used as a character (matching game medium) for performing the battle. Will be set.

  Here, the battle game medium includes an attack-type battle game medium used when attacking the opponent during the battle, and a defense-type battle game medium used when defending the attack from the opponent during the battle. Is set.

  Specifically, the player selects 10 game cards (10 characters) from among the game cards possessed by the player as a battle game medium to be used at the time of attack, and selects an attack-type battle game medium. Organize. Hereinafter, the attack type game medium for battle is also referred to as “attack deck”. The strength of the attack deck is comprehensively determined based on parameters (for example, attack power) set for each of the 10 selected game cards. For example, the total value of the attack power set for each of 10 game cards is stored in the data storage unit 12 as the battle parameter of the attack deck. The actual attack power of the player at the time of the battle is determined based on the battle parameter of the attack deck. Similarly, the player selects 10 game cards (10 characters) from among the game cards owned by the player as a battle game medium used at the time of defense, and forms a defense-type battle game medium. . Hereinafter, the defensive type game medium for battle is also referred to as a “defense deck”. The strength of the defense deck is comprehensively determined based on the parameters (for example, defense strength) set for each of the 10 selected game cards, and is stored in the data storage unit 12 as a battle parameter of the defense deck. Remembered. Then, the actual defense power of the player at the time of the battle is determined based on the battle parameter of the defense deck. However, the number of game cards constituting each deck and the method for determining the strength of the deck are not limited to this.

  Each game card (character associated with the game card) is provided with a level, and parameters (for example, attack power and defense power) set for the game card as the level increases. The value of increases. Therefore, if a deck is formed using high-level game cards, a stronger game game medium is constructed, so that a battle with other players can be advantageously advanced.

  After the attack deck and the defense deck are formed, the battle is started when the player selects the opponent player and starts a battle. When the battle is started, the control unit 11 compares the attack power based on the attack deck organized by the player with the defense power based on the defense deck of the player selected as the opponent. Then, if the player's attack power is greater than the opponent player's defense power, it is determined that the player wins, and if the player's attack power is less than the opponent player's defense power, it is determined that the player is defeated. Conversely, when a player is selected as an opponent by another player (that is, when a battle is set), the player's defense strength is compared with the attack strength of the other player, so that the victory or defeat can be determined. Determined.

  In addition, the determination method of winning or losing at the time of a battle is not limited to this, and it may be a determination method in which the one with the greatest damage given to the opponent is determined to win, or the opponent who has first reduced the physical strength of the opponent to be determined to win .

  The player who has won the battle can acquire in-game points such as in-game currency and experience values that can be used in the game, items used in the game, and the like as victory rewards. The acquired experience value is added to the game card used in the battle, and the level of the game card increases when the experience value exceeds a certain level. Furthermore, the “sacrificial medium” that the opponent has bet can be acquired.

<Sacrificial media>
In the game system 1, a “sacrificial medium” is set for each of the above attack deck and defense deck. In the present embodiment, the sacrifice medium is a game card that is set separately from the attack deck and the defense deck among the plurality of game cards owned by the player. The sacrificial medium has a function of affecting the battle between players. This embodiment has a function of changing the battle parameter (attack power) of the player's attack deck and / or the battle parameter (defense power) of the defense deck. For example, when a certain game card Z is set as the sacrifice medium in the attack deck, a value of 10% of the parameter (attack power) at the maximum level of the game card Z is added to the attack power of the attack deck. In this case, the stronger the game card parameter set as the sacrifice medium, the stronger the attack power of the attack deck can be changed. Other effects of setting a sacrificial medium include fighting by changing the defense strength of the opponent's defense deck to a low level, or creating a special effect (for example, triggering a special move) on your attack deck. May be advantageous.

  It is also possible to play a battle in a state where no sacrifice media is set for the battle game media (deck). However, if the sacrifice medium is not set, the advantageous effects (effects) as described above cannot be received, so that there is a high possibility that it will be disadvantageous in a battle with another player who has set the sacrifice medium.

  The sacrificial medium has a function such as a bet that is betted when the players battle each other. In the game system 1, when a player is defeated by using an attack deck (defense deck) in which a sacrifice medium is set, the sacrifice medium set in the deck is deprived of the opponent player. It will be broken. On the contrary, when winning the battle, the sacrificial medium set in the opponent player's deck can be taken away. In other words, the sacrificial medium is also treated as a kind of reward when winning the battle.

  Although details will be described later, when a player selects an opponent player, the battle is performed while viewing a screen on which a part of the opponent candidate's defense deck and the sacrificial medium set in the defense deck are displayed. The partner is selected (see FIG. 9). Therefore, it becomes possible for the player to select a reward obtained when winning the battle, and problems such as an imbalance of sacrificial media bet on the battle are unlikely to occur.

=== About Data Structure ===
As described above, the data storage unit 12 of the server device 10 stores various types of information such as information on game cards and items as game media, player information, and sacrifice media information. Various information used in the game system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example data structure of card information. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of cards owned by a player in the player information. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the deck set by the player in the player information. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a data structure example of sacrificial medium information.

<Card information>
The card information includes a card ID as an example of identification information for identifying a game card, and various kinds of information related to the game card associated with the card ID. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, various parameters such as the card ID, the race of the character associated with the game card, the role (role), the maximum level of the character, the attack power, defense power, and physical strength at the initial level. Is included in the card information. In addition to these, information such as game card rarity (rare value) and skills (special abilities) may be provided.

<Player information>
Of the player information, the owned card information is information indicating a game card (hereinafter also referred to as an owned card) owned by each player. Each game card has a unique parameter, and the parameter is stored in the data storage unit 12 in association with the ID of each game card. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the possessed card ID, the level of the character corresponding to the game card, and various parameters such as attack power, defense power, and physical strength at that level are included. Various parameters such as attack power can be calculated from the initial parameters (see FIG. 4) of the game card recorded as card information and the level of the game card at the current time. In addition to these pieces of information, information such as the date and time when the player acquires the possessed card may be included.

  Of the player information, the deck information is information related to the attack deck and the defense deck organized by each player. In the game system 1, a “normal deck” used for other than the battle (for example, an in-game event) is also organized. However, the data structure of the normal deck is almost the same as that of the attack deck or the defense deck. Description is omitted. The deck information shown in FIG. 6 includes a plurality of (for example, 10) possessed card IDs constituting each deck of the attack deck and the defense deck, parameters such as attack power or defense power according to the level of each possessed card, In addition, data such as a battle parameter (for example, attack power of the entire attack deck) that is a parameter of the entire deck used during the battle is included.

  In addition to the possessed card information and the deck information, player ID information, experience values, items owned by the player, and information regarding in-game currency are stored as player information.

<Sacrificial media information>
The sacrifice medium information is configured to include data relating to the ID of the possessed card set as the sacrifice medium by the player, various parameters such as the maximum attack power of the card, the deck to be set, and the influence on the battle. For example, in FIG. 7, the game card with the card ID 0101 among the cards owned by the player is set as the sacrifice medium of the attack deck. In this case, as an influence on the attack deck at the time of the battle, a value (+560) of 10% of the maximum attack power of the game card is set to be added to the attack power of the attack deck. Similarly, the game card with the card ID 0105 among the cards owned by the player is set as the sacrifice medium of the defense deck. Then, as an effect on the defense deck at the time of the battle, a value (+820) of 10% of the maximum defense strength of the game card is set to be added to the defense strength of the defense deck. In addition, as an influence which the sacrificial medium with an attack deck has on an attack deck at the time of a battle, for example, a value of 15% of the total attack power can be set to be added to the attack power of the attack deck. Similarly, for example, a value of 15% of the total defense power may be set to be added to the defense power of the defense deck as an effect of a sacrifice medium with the defense deck on the defense deck at the time of the battle. In addition, the parameter set in the sacrifice medium itself may be added to the battle parameter as it is, and the sacrifice medium may be handled as an extra card. As a result, players who set a stronger (higher rarity) sacrificial medium can play more advantageously than players who don't set a sacrificial medium or players who set a weaker (lower rarity) sacrificial medium. it can.

=== Action of action ===
Next, the battle operation performed in the game system 1 will be specifically described.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the battle operation of the present embodiment. It is assumed that the organization of the attack deck and the defense deck used for the battle has already been completed. Further, the description will be made assuming that the win / loss determination is performed based on the attack power of the attacking player and the defense power of the defending player.

  First, a player who wants to battle with another player (referred to as Player A) requests a battle from the player terminal 20 (S101). The battle request is made on a game screen (not shown) displayed on the terminal display unit 24 of the player terminal 20, and is transmitted to the server device 10 via the terminal communication unit 25.

  When the server device 10 receives a battle request from the player A (S102), data of a battle list screen for causing the player A to select an opponent is generated (S103). The control unit 11 extracts a plurality of other players from the users of the game system 1 as candidates for the player A's opponent. Then, the image generation unit 115 generates data of the battle list screen including information on the extracted battle candidate players, the defense decks of each battle candidate player, and the sacrifice medium set in the protection deck. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a battle list screen. In the battle list screen shown in FIG. 9, information on four players, Player B to Player E, is displayed as battle candidate players. For example, an image of each player's avatar, a defense deck organized by each player, and a sacrificial medium set in the defense deck are displayed. Although not shown, information indicating the level, strength, etc. of each character constituting the sacrificial medium or the defense deck may be displayed.

  Note that not all of these pieces of information are displayed on the battle list screen, but some information may be hidden. FIG.10 and FIG.11 is a figure which shows an example of the battle | competition list screen from which some information was hidden. In FIG. 10, information on part (or all) of the characters (game cards) organized in the defense deck of the battle candidate player is not displayed. Further, in FIG. 11, some or all information regarding the sacrifice medium is not displayed. However, information other than these may be hidden. Since some information of the opponent is not displayed, it becomes necessary for the player A to judge the strength of the opponent while predicting the information of the non-display part when selecting the opponent. In particular, when some information regarding the sacrifice medium is hidden as shown in FIG. 11, the player A tries to set a stronger sacrifice medium. Thereby, the interest of the player A at the time of a battle | competition can be raised, and distribution of a powerful sacrificial medium becomes active.

  When the battle list screen is generated, an arbitrary player is extracted as an opponent candidate. However, in order to suppress an unfair match, which will be described later, with reference to the strength of player A's attack deck, players who have formed a defense deck with as much strength as possible may be extracted. Good. When a match occurs between players of similar strength, the match is likely to be a close match, and the player can expect more thrilling development.

  The generated battle list screen data is transmitted to the player terminal 20 of the player A by the communication unit 15, and a battle list screen as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24 (S104). In addition, when not displaying some information on a battle | competition list screen like FIG. 10 or FIG. 11, it is not necessary to transmit all data (information) to the player terminal 20, and transmit some data. It may be.

  Player A selects a player who wishes to battle while viewing the displayed battle list screen (S105). In the case of FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, one of the players B to E displayed on the battle list screen is selected. As described above, in the game system 1, it is important to sufficiently consider the sacrifice medium set by the battle candidate player when selecting the battle opponent. This is because the sacrificial medium has a function that influences the battle, such as strengthening the deck at the same time as the victory reward of the battle. For example, if a battle candidate player's defense deck is set with a rare and powerful sacrificial medium, a game card with a high rare value can be obtained if the battle is won, but the possibility of losing the battle is also high. In addition, a strategy that dares to sneak up the opponent by setting a weak sacrificial medium is also conceivable. Furthermore, since it is necessary to assume various situations by hiding part of the information of the battle candidate players as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, it is possible to provide a battle game with higher strategy. .

  When the player A selects a player to be an opponent and the server device 10 accepts the selection of the player A (S106), the battle is started. In the following description, it is assumed that the player B is selected as the opponent of the player A.

  When the battle is started, the battle processing unit 111 of the control unit 11 performs battle processing (S107). FIG. 12 is a flowchart of various processes performed in the battle process.

  When the battle is started, the battle processing unit 111 calculates the attack power of the player A who has requested the battle (S171). Specifically, the attack power data of the attack deck is referred to from the player information of the player A stored in the data storage unit 12, and the data related to the influence of the sacrificial medium set in the attack deck from the sacrifice medium information of the player A Refer to A value obtained by adding the influence of the sacrificial medium to the attack power of the attack deck is defined as the corrected attack power of the player A in the battle. That is, a value obtained by changing the attack power (matching parameter) of the attack deck due to the influence of the sacrifice medium is the corrected attack power. In addition, since the influence which a sacrificial medium has on a battle | competition is various as mentioned above, the method of fluctuation | variation of attack power changes with kinds of sacrificial medium set.

  Subsequently, the battle processing unit 111 calculates the defense strength of the player B selected as the opponent (S172). Specifically, the defense power data of the defense deck is referred to from the player information of the player B stored in the data storage unit 12, and the data related to the influence of the sacrifice media set in the defense deck from the sacrifice media information of the player B Refer to Then, a value obtained by adding the influence of the sacrificial medium to the defense strength of the defense deck is defined as the modified defense strength of the player B in the battle.

  Next, the battle processing unit 111 determines whether or not the attack power of the player A and the defense power of the player B satisfy a predetermined condition (S173). Here, the predetermined condition is, for example, that the difference in power between the fighting players is not too large.

  In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the attacking player can select the opponent (defending player), but the defending player cannot select the opponent (attacking player). Therefore, if an attacking player chooses a defending player who is much weaker than himself as an opponent and attacks, the player can almost certainly win, so he can unilaterally take away the opponent's sacrifice medium. . In such a case, since the defending player does not have a means to deal with by himself, the feeling of unfairness may increase and the player may lose interest in the game.

  Therefore, a predetermined condition is set for the battle so that the battle between the players whose power difference is too large does not occur. For example, as a predetermined condition, “the corrected attack power of the player A is not greater than a predetermined value with respect to the corrected defense power of the player B” is set. If the predetermined condition is not satisfied (S173 is No), it is determined that the player A on the attacking side is defeated as an unfair match (S175). Alternatively, it may be a draw or the battle itself may not be established. Normally, as a result of comparing the corrected attack power of player A and the corrected defense power of player B, if the corrected attack power of player A is high, it is determined that player A wins, but an unfair match is performed. If it is, at least the victory of player A is not determined. In other words, a match result different from normal is determined.

  As predetermined conditions, the attack strength of player A's attack deck (the battle parameter before being changed by the influence of the sacrifice medium) and the defense strength of player B's defense deck (the battle before being changed by the influence of the sacrifice medium) Parameter) or the effect of the sacrificial medium on the battle itself. Moreover, you may compare the difference of the level of both sides which compete.

  Further, in order to prevent an unfair match from occurring in advance, a warning that an unfair match may occur after the server device 10 accepts an opponent selection from the player A (S106). May be displayed on the player terminal 20 of the player A.

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied in S173 (S173 is Yes), the corrected attack power of the player A and the corrected defense power of the player B are compared (S174). Note that a coefficient based on a random number may be added to the corrected attack power of player A and the corrected defense power of player B. As a result of the comparison, if the corrected attack power of player A is higher than the corrected defense power of player B, it is determined that player A wins (S176), and the corrected attack power of player A is less than the corrected defense power of player B. In other words, it is determined that layer A has been defeated (S177).

  Returning to FIG. 8, after the winning / losing determination is made by the battle process, the information changing process is performed based on the determination (S108). In the information changing process, the information changing unit 112 of the control unit 11 changes ownership information such as game cards and items owned by the player, points in the game, and the like. In particular, the game system 1 is characterized in that ownership of the sacrificial medium is transferred in accordance with the outcome of the battle. Hereinafter, an example in which the player A wins in the battle between the player A and the player B will be described.

  The information changing unit 112 accesses the possessed card information of the player B who has lost the battle (see FIG. 5), changes the possessed information of the game card corresponding to the sacrifice medium set in the defense deck to non-owned and stores it. To do. In addition, the player B accesses the sacrifice medium information of the player B (see FIG. 7), and cancels the setting of the sacrifice medium set in the defense deck. On the other hand, the possession information of the game card corresponding to the sacrifice medium is added to the possession card information of the player A who won the battle. As a result, the sacrificial medium of the defeated player B becomes unowned by the player B and becomes owned by the player A. In other words, ownership of the sacrificial medium is transferred from the loser to the winner.

  If such an information change process is performed, the sacrificial medium is not set in the defense deck of the player B, and the next and subsequent battles with other players are disadvantageous. Therefore, a player for which no sacrifice medium is set in the defense deck may be made difficult to be selected as a battle candidate player. Further, as will be described later, a plurality of sacrificial media may be set in advance.

  When player A loses to player B in the battle, the possession of the sacrifice medium set in player A's attack deck is transferred to player B.

  In addition, in the information change process, in-game currency and experience values (hereinafter also referred to as in-game points) owned by the player may be transferred in addition to the sacrifice medium. Transferring in-game points is basically the same as transferring sacrificial media. That is, a predetermined amount of in-game points to be transferred is reduced from the player information of the player who lost the match, and the reduced in-game points or a part thereof is added to the player information of the player who won the match. And memorize it. If you lose the match, the points in the game will decrease, so you can encourage the player to make further efforts to win the match and activate the match game.

  After the information change process, data of a battle result notification screen for notifying the player of the battle result is generated by the screen generator 115 (S109). The screen data is transmitted to the player terminal 20 of the player A via the communication unit 15 and displayed on the terminal display unit 24 (S110). FIG. 13 is an example of a battle result notification screen when the player wins. On the competition result notification screen, the victory or defeat of the competition, and the transfer result of the sacrificial medium and in-game points based on the victory or defeat are displayed. Thereby, the player A can confirm whether the opponent's sacrificial medium has been taken away or whether the opponent's own sacrificial medium has been taken away.

  Note that the player terminal 20 of the player defeated in the match (player B in the above example) is notified of the defeat result that the sacrificial medium, the points in the game, etc. have been taken away due to the defeat in the match. Data on a screen (not shown) is transmitted. The defeat result notification screen may be confirmed immediately when the player B logs in. Moreover, you may make it notify a defeat result by means, such as an email.

  Also, a battle restriction process is performed to limit the next and subsequent battles (S111). If the battles are repeated indefinitely, the load on the server device 10 becomes high, and there is a possibility that services relating to the game system 1 cannot be provided smoothly. In addition, if a battle such as competing for a sacrifice medium is allowed, troubles may occur between players. Therefore, when the game system 1 continuously battles, a certain restriction is provided. For example, an item or energy value that is consumed when setting up a battle against another player is provided so that a battle can be performed as many as the number of the item or energy value possessed. Or prevent other players from starting a match. By setting such conditions as restriction information and performing a battle restriction process based on the restriction information after a battle is performed, it is possible to suppress an unlimited battle.

  In a battle game provided by such a game system 1, a player can advantageously advance a battle against other players by setting a powerful game card as a sacrifice medium of an attack deck or a defense deck. However, if the match is defeated, the sacrificial medium is lost. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how much sacrificial medium is set for the player's own deck and how much player who has set the sacrificial medium is selected as an opponent. Thereby, the breadth of the strategy regarding the setting of the sacrifice medium, the selection of the opponent, etc. is widened, and an interesting game can be provided without reducing the player's willingness to play.

<Modification>
A plurality of sacrifice media may be registered in advance for each of the attack deck and the defense deck. For example, when the sacrificial medium set in the deck is lost to the opponent due to defeat in the battle, it is necessary to reset a new sacrificial medium. However, setting a sacrificial medium each time a player loses a match increases the burden on the player. Therefore, a plurality of sacrificial media are registered in advance, and when a sacrificial media is taken away by a battle, a predetermined sacrificial media is automatically set from the plurality of registered sacrificial media.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of sacrificial medium information when a plurality of sacrificial media are set. In the sacrificial medium information of the modified example, priority information is set for a plurality of game cards set as the sacrificial medium, in addition to the card ID, various parameters, the setting target deck, and data on the influence on the battle. The priority order represents the order in which a plurality of sacrificial media are used for the battle when they are registered. For example, the game card with the card ID 0123 is registered as the first priority of the sacrificial medium of the defense deck, and the game card with the card ID 0137 is registered as the second priority of the sacrificial medium of the defense deck. When a battle is challenged by another player, the battle is first performed using a defense deck in which the game card with the card ID 0123 registered at the first priority is set as a sacrifice medium. If the match is defeated, the sacrificial medium (game card with card ID 0123) is taken away, so no sacrificial medium is set in the defense deck. Therefore, the control unit 11 newly sets the game card with the card ID 0137 registered at the second highest priority as the sacrificial medium of the defense deck. Thereby, it is possible to save the time and effort for the player to newly set the sacrifice medium.

  The priority order need not be registered. When the priority order is not registered, the control unit 11 selects an arbitrary game card from a plurality of game cards and sets it as a sacrifice medium. For example, in FIG. 14, the priority order is not registered for the game IDs of card ID0142 and card ID0142. In this case, one of the two game cards is selected and set as a sacrifice medium.

=== Other Embodiments ===
The above-described embodiments are for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

<About game media for battle>

  In the above-described embodiment, a battle game medium (attack deck, defense deck) is configured by a predetermined number of game cards (ten game cards in the above example) among a plurality of game cards owned by the player. However, an order may be provided in a game card constituting the game medium for battle. For example, a leader-class game card is set in each deck, and the strength of each deck varies according to the parameters of the leader-class game card, or the strength parameter set for the leader-class game card. It is good also as a structure which determines the victory or defeat of a battle | competition based on it.

<Sacrificial media>
In the above-described embodiment, the sacrifice medium is set separately from the game card constituting the battle game medium, but one or more of the plurality of game cards constituting the battle game medium are set as the sacrifice medium. It may be done. In this case, the sacrifice medium itself has a function of determining the battle parameter of the battle game medium (attack deck or defense deck) and changing the battle parameter to influence the battle.

  Further, a game medium set as a sacrifice medium may be a game medium that can be set only as a sacrifice medium, unlike a normal game medium (that is, a game card). For example, a sacrifice card different from a normal game card is provided, and it is not possible to organize a battle game medium (attack deck or defense deck) using the sacrifice card, and a normal game card is set as a sacrifice medium I can't do that either. As a result, the player has an increased chance of recovering the sacrifice card stolen by another player, and can further activate the battle game.

  Further, the game medium set as the sacrifice medium may be a kind of item instead of a game card.

  A plurality of sacrificial media may be set for one battle. As a result, the more sacrificial media are set, the more the battle parameters can be raised, but if the game is defeated, all game media set as sacrificial media will be taken away, so an interesting game will be provided Can do. Needless to say, the value of the battle parameter can be changed according to the combination of the plurality of sacrifice media.
