<Example game scene>
Next, a specific game scene and details of the game progress will be described with reference to a screen example of a card game according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the explanation is divided into several game scenes.

(Scene 1)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a screen example (part 1) of the card game according to the present embodiment. It is a main menu screen of the card game concerning this embodiment.

  The player sits in the seat of the card game apparatus 1 and inserts the IC card held by the player into the IC card insertion / exit unit 119. When the IC card is inserted, electronic user information in the IC card is read by the IC card R / W unit 118.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, as the user information 10 read from the IC card, for example, the player's code name, player character, battle record, possessed card information, card complete rate, agent rank, AP (agent point), The deck original rank, the deck original P (point), and the like are displayed on the main menu screen of the display unit 114.

  First, the player presses the “GP” 11 button at the upper right of the screen. In the card game according to the present embodiment, the game fee is charged in units of time, such as how many minutes per coin (credit). Therefore, the player can purchase GP (Game Point), that is, play time by inserting coins. In the present embodiment, since 1 GP is converted to 1 second, 1 GP is consumed every time 1 second passes during the game. When GP becomes 0, it becomes impossible to play a game. The player can purchase a GP from “GP” 11 on the screen as appropriate.

  Next, the player presses a “customize (perform deck editing)” button 12 on the screen.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a screen example (part 2) of the card game according to the present embodiment.

  In the “card box” 41, a list of all possessed cards (friend character cards) possessed by the player is displayed. Of the cards held by the player in the “card box” 41, cards used for the battle are arranged in the “deck” 42. That is, the cards that can be used in the battle are the cards in the “deck” 42. In general, in a trading card game, a deck refers to a set of cards assembled for a player to play the game, or a place for the cards. The player selects a card to be used for the battle from the cards in the “card box” 41 and places it on the “deck” 42. There is an upper limit (for example, a maximum of 40) the number of sheets arranged in the “deck” 42. Which card is selected by the player from the cards in the “card box” 41 under the restriction of the upper limit number of cards and placed in the “deck” 42 is an important factor that influences the winning or losing of the game. .

  In the present embodiment, when the player first participates in the game, an initial deck is already constructed for the purpose of starting the game play immediately. Normally, the initial deck has a card set for beginner players.

  The “original rank” 43 is an index indicating the uniqueness and originality of the construction deck. Specifically, the deck original P, which is the total value of the card original P (points) for each card arranged in the “deck” 42, and the deck original rank assigned according to the deck original P are displayed. Is done. The higher the card original P is placed in the “deck” 42, the higher the deck original P becomes. The higher the deck original P, the higher the deck original rank. That is, the higher the card original P is placed in the “deck” 42, the higher the deck original rank is.

  The card original P is determined for each card, and the value of the card original P is displayed on the card (for example, the lower right of the card). If you play against a deck with a higher deck original rank, you can earn more APs, so the player considers not only the abilities of the teammate character in each card but also the card original P of that card. The card used for the battle is selected and placed on the “deck” 42.

  AP (agent point) is a kind of game score given to a player, and is an index for measuring a player's game results and excellence. The AP is also used for the ranking of excellent people to recognize the top AP winners. In the present embodiment, the card original P of the card is higher as the card is less popular (the card that is less frequently used). This point will be described later in detail again.

  Next, in order to start the game, the player presses the “game play (consumes GP to play a match)” 13 button in the screen of FIG.

(Scene 2)
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a screen example (part 3) of the card game according to the present embodiment. In scene 2, the basic structure of the battle screen will be described. FIG. 5 shows an example of a battle screen in which the player character 13 as the player character of the player player and the opponent character 14 as the player character of the opponent player face each other.

  In the hand column 15, a list of cards that can be used as a hand in the battle by the player character 13 side is arranged. In other words, a card list of friendly characters that can be summoned in a battle is arranged. In FIG. 5, four cards are arranged in the hand column 15. When the player enters the self-attack turn, the player selects a card (a discard) to be used for the battle from the hand column 15.

  The cards arranged in the hand column 15 are selected at random from the cards initially stored in the “deck” 42 when the battle starts, and are arranged in the hand column 15. A player cannot always use a desired card.

  Further, as shown in the center of the battle screen in FIG. 5, once the card is placed in the hand column 15, the placed card may be shuffled again within a certain time (for example, within 3 seconds). it can. Therefore, if the player first does not want the card placed in the hand column 15 as the placement card, the player selects “Would you like to redraw the card?” Or “Yes”, so that what is within a certain period of time? You can draw the card again. However, since the arranged cards are randomly replenished and arranged from the cards stocked in the deck, the desired card is not always arranged.

  Since the cards (discards) are consumed by the battle, each time the cards in the hand column 15 are used and decreased, the cards stored in the “deck” 42 are randomly assigned to the hand column 15. A new card is replenished.

  The card 16 is a card used for a battle. In the game, the player summons an ally character by repeating the card (a friend character card) arranged in the hand column 15 to the battle field, and repeats the attack and defense with the opponent character. In the card 16, illustrations of teammate characters, levels (for example, Lv1, etc.), BP (for example, BP3000, etc.), etc. are also displayed. BP means HP given to the character in the card.

  The HP gauge 17 is an HP meter of the player character 13. The HP decreases upon receiving an attack from the opponent player side, and when the HP of the HP gauge 17 becomes 0, the HP is defeated. Moreover, the attack from the other player side may be performed through the summoned teammate character. That is, when the teammate character summoned on the side of the player character 13 receives an attack from the opponent character, the BP of the teammate character decreases. When the BP of the teammate character becomes 0, the teammate character is defeated. Along with this, the HP meter of the player character 13 decreases in the form that the player character 13 receives damage from the defeated teammate character. For example, each time one teammate character is killed, the HP meter of the player character 13 decreases by one.

  The turn timer 18 indicates the possible attack time given to the attack on the own character 13 side, and starts from, for example, 30 (seconds) and counts down. The player must select a card (scrap) used for the attack from the hand column 15 before the turn timer reaches zero. If the turn timer becomes 0 without being selected, the operation right (for example, the attack right) is transferred to the other party without attacking.

  The auxiliary card place 20 is a place where an item card for assisting the action of the player character 13 is placed. In the game, there is an auxiliary card place 20 as a destination to move the card, apart from a battle place where characters appear. The card placed in the auxiliary card place 20 can be activated automatically or by an operation of the player itself when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, if an item card that assists the action of the player character 13 is placed in the auxiliary card place 20, the item card can be activated when the target teammate character acts. Further, for example, when a card of a teammate character is placed, it is possible to use such that the cost required to make a teammate character of the same series card or the same color as that character appear in the battle field.

  The HP gauge 21 is an HP meter of the opponent character 14 to battle. The HP decreases upon receiving an attack from the player character 13 side, and when the HP of the HP gauge 21 becomes 0, the player character 13 wins.

  In the hand column 22, a list of cards that can be used by the opponent character 14 for the battle at the present time is arranged. In the present embodiment, the cards arranged in the opponent's hand column 22 are not visible from the player side.

  The turn timer 23 indicates the possible attack time given to the attack on the opponent character 14, and starts from 30 and counts down. Usually, the time given to the attack on the opponent character 14 side is the same as the time given to the own character 13 side. The opponent character 14 must select a card (scrap) used for the attack from the hand column 15 before the turn timer reaches zero.

  The auxiliary card place 24 is a place where an item card for assisting the action of the opponent character 14 is arranged.

<Information processing>
In this embodiment, as described above, the card original P is determined for each card, and when a player plays a battle using a deck having a higher deck original rank, more APs (agent points) are obtained. Can be earned. Here, as for the card original P of the card, the card original P is higher as the card is less popular, that is, the card is less frequently used. Therefore, if a card with a low use frequency is used, and, for example, a battle is won, more APs can be acquired, which is an incentive for the player to use a card with a low use frequency.

  On the other hand, a card that is less frequently used is a card that is not used by other players, and therefore may not necessarily be an advantageous card (for example, a weak card) in the battle. In many cases, it is disadvantageous. However, the winning or losing of the match is not determined by only one card, but greatly depends on the cooperation with a plurality of cards and the strategy of the player.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a mechanism is introduced in which a player who can construct a deck that is not used by other players can acquire more APs and can be evaluated as an excellent player. By this mechanism, the player is encouraged to build a deck with originality, and the fixation of the deck is prevented. That is, in the trading card game, a culture is introduced that a player who can build an original deck is great.

(Function block)
FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of the card game apparatus 1 and the server apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment.

  First, the server device 3 includes a totaling unit 611 and a storage unit 612.

  The counting unit 611 calculates the usage frequency for each card type by counting the usage results (for example, the total number of times of use) of the cards used by each player in the game battle. Further, the card original P of each card is determined (set) according to the use frequency for each card type. The card original P becomes higher as the card is less frequently used. The aggregate data is stored in the storage unit 612.

  The storage unit 612 stores user information for each player, total data by the total unit 611, and the like.

  Next, the card game apparatus 1 includes a presentation unit 621 and a point giving unit 622.

  When the player selects a card to be used in the game battle from among the possessed cards in the “card box” 41 as the “deck” 42, the presenting unit 621 prompts the player on each card (for example, the lower right of the card). The card original P for each card is presented (displayed).

  The point granting unit 622 selects a card whose card original P is higher than the other cards from the possessed cards in the “card box” 41 and uses the card in the game to evaluate the player with respect to the player. Grant more APs (Agent Points). For example, at the end of the game match, the point granting unit 622 calculates an AP bonus (added AP) according to the deck original rank when a deck having a high deck original rank (and deck original P) is constructed and used in the game. In addition, an AP bonus is given to the player in addition to the normal AP.

  These functional units are realized by a game control program 105 executed by the CPU 102 of the card game apparatus 1 which is a computer on hardware resources such as the RAM 104. However, these functional units may be read as “means”, “module”, “unit”, or “circuit”.

(User information)
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of user information according to the present embodiment. The server device 3 stores the user information of all the players in the storage unit 612 based on the identifiers of the IC cards possessed by the players.

  The user information includes, for example, an IC card ID, user ID, player code name, player character, battle record, possessed card information, card complete rate, agent rank, AP, deck original rank, deck original P, possessed GP, and the like. .

(Aggregated data)
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the aggregate data according to the present embodiment. The server device 3 has tabulation data for tabulating the usage record of each card based on the game history of all players (including used deck, battle history, win / loss). The game history of all players is managed by the server device 3.

  The aggregate data includes, for example, a card ID for each card, a card usage count, a card usage frequency P, a ranking of the card usage frequency P, a card original P, and the like.

  The card ID indicates the card ID. The same card (same type card) has the same card ID. For example, in the case of a “Bakudarman” card, all “Bakudarman” cards have a card ID 001. On the other hand, a card of “Bloodhound” has a different card ID, such as 002, if the card is different.

  The card usage count indicates the cumulative usage count for each identical card in all players. Use means that the game is actually set using the deck set in the “deck” 42.

  Further, the cumulative number of uses is a cumulative value of the number of times used in a predetermined counting period. The counting period is preferably a period including a weekend where play is prosperous at least once during the period, such as one week, two weeks, or one month.

  For example, when the card usage count of the card ID 001 is 562325, during the counting period, “Bakudaruman” cards are set in the “deck” 42 for a total of 625325 times in all players, and the deck is used to actually play the game. Means that a match has taken place. However, it does not matter whether or not the player cuts the “Bakudaruman” card into the battle field in the game battle. Since the placement cards in the hand column 15 are randomly replenished and placed from among the cards stocked in the deck, the “Bakudarman” card is always set in the “Deck” 42, but it is always “Bakudarman”. This is because the card is not necessarily placed in the hand column 15. The definition of card use is not limited to the above, and can be set as appropriate, for example, the card is placed in the hand column 15 or the card is cut to the battle field.

  In addition, when 3 “Bakudaruman” cards are set in “Deck” 42 and the game is actually played, it is assumed that the “Bakudaruman” card has been used 3 times, and the number of times the card has been used is counted 3 times. Up.

The card usage frequency P is obtained by converting the card usage frequency into a point. The card usage frequency P increases as the card usage frequency increases. For example, it can be calculated by the following equation.
Card usage frequency P = 300000 × card usage count / total card usage count Note that 300000 is multiplied in order to abstract and point the frequency value.

  The ranking of the card usage frequency P indicates the rank of the card usage frequency P. The higher the card usage frequency P, the higher the ranking (ranking). The card with the highest card usage frequency P is ranked first in the ranking. On the other hand, the card with the lowest card usage frequency P is ranked lowest 350.

  The card original P indicates an index indicating the originality and originality of the card. Although it is determined according to the ranking of the card usage frequency P, the card original P becomes higher as the lower ranking card (the card with lower usage frequency). For example, it can be determined according to the conditions of FIG.

  Note that the card usage count is the cumulative usage count for each player in all players, but the usage count may be limited to players who have a game experience of a certain level or more. Whether or not the player has a certain level of gaming experience or not can be determined by the player's agent rank (determination means). For example, the card usage count is the cumulative usage count for each same card in a player who has a player rank B or higher.

  The reason for this is as follows. In this embodiment, when a player (player with the lowest agent rank) participates in a game for the first time, an initial deck is already constructed for the purpose of starting game play immediately. Therefore, it is because the initial deck is not the deck that is selected by the player's intention, and the player who has little game play experience is inexperienced in the skill of building a deck that is advantageous in the battle. In other words, by excluding the deck used by players with little game experience from the card usage count, the card original P as an index indicating the popularity and unpopularity of the card is improved with accuracy in line with the actual situation. is there.

(Card original P decision process)
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the card original P determination process of the server device 3 according to the present embodiment.

  S1: The aggregation unit 611 determines whether or not the aggregation period has elapsed. The counting period is preferably a period including a weekend where play is prosperous at least once during the period, such as one week, two weeks, or one month. The tabulation period can be appropriately determined by an operator or the like.

  S2: The aggregation unit 611 executes the aggregation process when the aggregation period has elapsed.

  Specifically, the aggregation unit 611 first resets the aggregation data for all the aggregation periods. The totaling unit 611 counts the “card use count” of each card based on the game history of all players (including used deck, battle history, win / loss). Note that, as described above, the number of usage counts may be limited to players having a certain level of gaming experience. Next, the totaling unit 611 calculates “card usage frequency P” and calculates the ranking of the card usage frequency P. Finally, the totaling unit 611 determines the card original P for each card according to the ranking of the card usage frequency P (see, for example, FIG. 9A).

  S3: The totaling unit 611 transmits the information of the card original P for each card determined in S2 to the card game apparatus 1 and the terminal apparatus 2. It may also be sent to internet sites.

  The terminal device 2 and the Internet site display information of the card original P for each card. Thus, the player can recognize popular cards and unpopular cards, and such information can be used as reference information on which card can be used to construct an original deck.

(AP grant processing)
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the AP grant processing of the card game apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. As a premise, it is assumed that the card game apparatus 1 has received the information of the card original P for each card determined in S2 from the server apparatus 3.

  S21: The point grant unit 622 determines whether an AP (agent point) grant timing has arrived. The AP grant timing is, for example, the time point when the one-game battle ends. At this timing, the player acquires an AP as a result of the game battle.

  S22: When the AP grant timing arrives, the point grant unit 622 acquires the player's deck original rank (or deck original P) at that time, and specifies the AP bonus coefficient corresponding to the AP deck original rank (for example, FIG. 9 (b)). The AP bonus coefficient can be appropriately determined by an operator or the like. Further, the player's deck original P and deck original rank can be obtained from user information in the IC card.

  S23: The point granting unit 622 calculates an AP bonus based on the originally granted AP and the AP bonus coefficient, and grants the AP and the AP bonus to the player.

  For example, it is assumed that at the end of one game battle, the player acquires the original 100 AP as a result of the game battle. Here, when the player's deck original rank is S, the AP bonus coefficient is × 1.5 (see, for example, FIG. 9B). Then, by multiplying the original 100 AP by the AP bonus coefficient 1.5, a 50 AP bonus is calculated, and a total of 150 APs of 100 AP and 50 AP bonus is given to the player.

  On the other hand, for example, if the player's deck original rank is D, the AP bonus coefficient is x1.0 (see, for example, FIG. 9B). Then, by multiplying the original 100AP by the AP bonus coefficient 1.0, a 0AP bonus is calculated, and a total of 100AP of 100AP and 0AP bonus is given to the player. However, in this case, the AP bonus is not substantially granted.

  For the player, the agent rank is specified according to the acquired AP (see, for example, FIG. 9C). In particular, a player who has acquired 1000 AP or more is given the title of Agent Rank S. In addition, there is a privilege that information of excellent players who have obtained the title of agent rank S is displayed on the terminal device 2 or the Internet site. In addition, when the agent rank is increased, there are also benefits such as an increase in the number of deck characters (upper limit of the number of cards that can be placed on the deck) and player characters that can be used.

(Scene 3)
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a screen example (part 4) of the card game according to the present embodiment. In scene 3, an AP grant scene at the end of one game battle will be described.

  In FIG. 12 (a), at the end of one game match, the player acquires 100AP as the result of the game match.

  In FIG. 12B, the player further obtains a 50 AP bonus as an evaluation reward for a deck with originality.

  In FIG.12 (c), a player acquires 150AP in total and becomes a total of 740AP, Therefore An agent rank is raised from B to A. If the player's deck original rank is D, only 100 APs are acquired, and the total is 690 APs.

<Summary>
As described above, the card original P is provided for each card in the trading card game according to the present embodiment. The card original P of a card is counted according to the usage record of each card in all players for each counting period, and the card original P is higher for a less popular card, that is, a card with less frequency of use. In addition, the player can acquire more APs by performing a battle using a deck having a high deck original rank, which is composed of cards having a high card original P (a card having a high card original P).

  As described above, in this embodiment, by introducing a mechanism that gives an excellent player evaluation (for example, AP bonus) to a player who can build a deck that is not used by another player, Encourages the creation of decks with different originalities and prevents the deck from being fixed. Also, the use of minor cards that were created by game developers but never used, is encouraged. Further, since the players use various variations of decks (cards) full of originality during the game battle, various game battles are repeated, and the original game characteristics of the card game are improved.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. For example, the card game apparatus 1 is realized as an arcade game installed in a game center or the like, and can also be applied to smartphones, home games, and the like.
