And a program and data may be made to be supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 via an information storage medium.

  [2. Outline of Card Game] Although various games can be executed in the game system 1, a case where a game using a card (hereinafter referred to as “card game”) is executed in the game system 1 is described here. A technique according to the present invention will be described.

  The card game is a competitive card game or a trading card game. The trading card game is characterized by the fact that the deck to be used is not fixed, such as playing cards, and is sometimes called “collectable card game” or “customizable card game” in English-speaking countries.

  In the card game, the first user constructs a deck by combining arbitrary cards from among the owned cards according to a predetermined rule, and plays against the second user using the deck. Note that the second user may be a human user other than the first user, or may be a computer (such as a computer imitating a human user).

  A “deck” is a bundle of cards (collection of a plurality of cards) composed of a plurality of cards, and is also called a deck. In the following, “deck” means a bundle of cards constructed by the user for playing the game, and “mountain card” means a card placed face down in the game field during the game. (Ie, a deck that is shuffled and placed face down). For this reason, in this specification, a combination of cards owned by the user is described as “deck”, and a card virtually placed at a predetermined location for drawing a card is described as “deck”. The “deck” is distinguished from the “deck card”.

  Note that “execute a card game” means, for example, executing a computer game of a card game. That is, it is to execute a card game that can be played between the first user and the second user via a computer and a network. The real trading card game may be executed as a computer game, or the fictitious (unique) trading card game may be executed as a computer game.

  Hereinafter, an example of a card game executed in the game system 1 will be described. Note that the card game may be a client / server game executed by data communication between the game terminal 10 and the server 30, or a stand-alone game executed by the game terminal 10 alone. It may be a game.

  [2-1] The card game is executed in a turn system. The turn is an order in which the first user or the second user can act. In the card game, the first user's turn and the second user's turn are repeatedly executed alternately. The first attack and the second attack are determined at the start of the card game match.

  A 1st user and a 2nd user start a battle | competition in the state which has own life point. The life point is a point indicating the vitality in the game, and is a numerical value that serves as a basis for winning or losing determination, as will be described later. This point may be called by another name such as “hit point”. The initial value of the life point may be an arbitrary value, but is 8000 points in the present embodiment.

  In the first user's turn, a card is drawn from the first user's deck and the drawn card is added to the first user's hand. A “hand” is a card virtually held in the game. In other words, the hand is a card that can be placed on the game field. The first user places an arbitrary card in his / her hand in the game field and uses the card placed in the game field to attack the second user. Similarly, in the second user's turn, a card is drawn from the second user's deck, and the drawn card is added to the second user's hand. The second user places an arbitrary card from his / her hand in the game field and uses the card placed in the game field to attack the first user.

  Depending on the card game, a special deck (for example, an extra deck to be described later) combined with a special type of card may be used in addition to the normal deck (main deck). In such a card game, cards included in a special deck are placed in the game field under predetermined conditions, and are used for attacks against opponents and defenses against attacks from opponents.

  When the second user's life point decreased by the attack from the first user to the second user becomes zero, the first user wins, and the first user's life point decreases by the attack from the second user to the first user. When it becomes zero, the first user is defeated.

  In addition, the victory conditions of a game are not restricted to the conditions regarding a life point. For example, the winning condition may be that the remaining number of decks is 0, the player who cannot draw a card from the deck first loses, and the opponent wins. In addition, for example, a specific combination of cards is arranged in the hand, a specific combination of cards is arranged in a predetermined order in the game field, or after a magic indicated by a specific card is activated, a predetermined number of turns is set. Elapsed time may correspond to victory conditions.

  [2-2] Next, basic terms and card types of card games will be described.

  [2-2-1] In this embodiment, a game field in which cards are arranged is called a duel field. The duel field is a virtual world constructed in the game system 1 and may be a three-dimensional space or a two-dimensional plane. The first user and the second user can place the card at a predetermined location in the duel field. While the game is in progress, a game image showing the state of the duel field is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a game image. The game image G1 shown in FIG. 2 includes the first user's hand C1, the second user's hand C2, the first user's life point LP1, the second user's life point LP2, the current turn T, and the current duel field F. Is displayed. The first user selects a card to be used from his / her hand C1 displayed in the game image G1, or performs an operation for drawing a card from his / her deck on the Duel Field F. The card game can proceed.

  FIG. 3 shows the details of Duel Field F. The duel field F in FIG. 3 includes a first user duel field F1, a second user duel field F2, and extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. In FIG. 3, the character string describing the area where the first user's card is placed is shown without rotation, and the character string explaining the area where the second user's card is placed is rotated in the reverse direction. The character string describing the common area of the first user and the second user is described in both of them.

  The first user duel field F1 is an area for placing a card of the first user, and is disposed on the near side (lower side) of the second user duel field F2 and the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. The first user duel field F1 includes main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E, graveyard Z4A, main deck zone Z5A, field zone Z6A, and extra deck zone Z7A.

  The main monster zones Z2A to Z2E are areas for arranging monster cards to be described later. That is, the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E are areas for arranging monster cards other than the extra monster cards described later. The first user can summon up to five monsters by placing monster cards using the five main monster zones Z2A to Z2E. “Monster summoning” means that monster cards are placed in duel field F (main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B, etc.) and used for battles (attacking opponents, etc.) It is to make it possible to do. Details will be described later.

  The magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E are areas for arranging a magic card and a trap card, which will be described later. The first user can arrange up to five magic cards and trap cards using the five magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E. In addition, a pendulum monster card, which will be described later, can be placed as a magic card in the magic and trap zones Z3A and Z3E on the left and right ends. For this reason, in this embodiment, the magic / saddle zones Z3A and Z3E at the left and right ends may be described as the pendulum zone. The pendulum zones Z3A and Z3E are areas for placing a pendulum monster card, which will be described later, and performing a pendulum summon.

  The graveyard Z4A is an area for arranging a monster card of a monster that is destroyed when a monster other than a Pendulum monster described later is destroyed, or arranging a used magic card and a spear card.

  The main deck zone Z5A is an area for arranging a later-described main deck as a deck. The user can draw a card from the deck of the main deck zone Z5A and add it to his / her hand. In the main deck zone Z5A, the remaining number of decks is displayed.

  The field zone Z6A is an area for arranging a field magic card to be described later. Since the field magic card is not arranged in the magic / trap zone, it is not included in the five cards in the magic / trap zone.

  The extra deck zone Z7A is an area for arranging an extra deck described later. When a Pendulum Monster, which will be described later, is destroyed, the Pendulum Monster Card is placed face up in the Extra Deck Zone Z7A. Only in this case, the maximum number of extra decks described later may exceed 15. In the extra deck zone Z7A, the remaining number of decks is displayed.

  The second user duel field F2 is an area for placing a second user card. As shown in FIG. 3, the second user duel field F2 has the same configuration as the first user duel field F1, and the main monster zone Z2F to Z2J, the magic / spear zone Z3F to Z3J, the graveyard Z4B, the main deck A zone Z5B, a field zone Z6B, and an extra deck zone Z7B are included. Since these meanings and roles are the same as those of the first user duel field F1, description thereof will be omitted. In the second user duel field F2, the magic and trap zones Z3F and Z3J are pendulum zones.

  Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the main monster zones Z2A to Z2J, they are referred to as the main monster zone Z2. Similarly, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the magic / saddle zones Z3A to Z3J, the graveyards Z4A and Z4B, the main deck zones Z5A and Z5B, the field zones Z6A and Z6B, and the extra deck zones Z7A and Z7B, the magic / saddle zone Z3, graveyard Z4, main deck zone Z5, field zone Z6, and extra deck zone Z7.

  The extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are areas for placing an extra monster card to be described later. That is, the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are areas for summoning extra monsters to be described later. The extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are arranged between the first user duel field F1 and the second user duel field F2.

  In the present embodiment, two extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are set, and the number thereof is less than five, which is the number of main monster zones Z2 of each of the first user and the second user. The extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are shared areas for the first user and the second user, and both the first user and the second user can place cards under predetermined conditions.

  For example, when both of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are vacant, the first user and the second user can place an extra monster card in any one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. However, when the first user places an extra monster card in one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the first user cannot place an extra monster card in principle on the other side. Extra monster cards can be placed. Similarly, when the second user places an extra monster card in one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the second user cannot, in principle, place an extra monster card on the other side, Can place extra monster cards. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, they are referred to as the extra monster zone Z1.

  The duel field F is not limited to the above example. For example, the duel field F may include an exclusion area zone for placing cards excluded from the game. Furthermore, the exclusion area zone is outside the duel field F and may not be displayed in the game image G1.

  [2-2-2] There are two types of decks, a main deck and an extra deck. The main deck is a deck composed of monster cards, magic cards, and trap cards other than the extra monster cards described later. The number of cards that can be inserted into the main deck may be any number, but in this embodiment, it is assumed that 40 to 60 cards can be inserted.

  The extra deck is a deck composed only of extra monster cards to be described later. The number of cards that can be inserted into the extra deck may be any number, but in this embodiment, it is assumed that up to 15 cards can be inserted. The extra deck is not an indispensable requirement for playing the game, and it is not necessary to create an extra deck, particularly when an extra monster card is not used.

  [2-2-3] Next, the types of cards will be described. There are three types of cards: monster cards, magic cards, and spear cards.

  [2-2-3-1] The monster card is a card for summoning monsters, on which the monster to be summoned is drawn. In the present embodiment, the monster card means the card itself placed in the duel field F, and the monster means a game character that appears in the game by the monster card. Monster cards are classified into extra monster cards and monster cards other than extra monster cards.

  The extra monster card is a monster card for summoning extra monsters, and there are four types: a fusion monster card, a synchro monster card, an Xyz monster card, and a link monster card. Extra monsters are generally more powerful than monsters other than extra monsters. Here, “high ability” means that the attack power and defense power are higher than other monsters at the same level, and that card advantage can be obtained by the activated effect. “Card advantage” means that the game can be progressed with a smaller number of cards than the opponent's card. For example, one card can be used to destroy two opponent's cards, or the card effect can be used to destroy one opponent's card, which is an example of “card advantage”. As a general rule, an extra monster card can be placed only in the extra monster zone Z1 and is restricted so that it cannot be placed in the main monster zone Z2. However, as will be described later, the restriction is released by the link monster card.

  Monster cards other than extra monster cards are monster cards for summoning monsters other than extra monsters, and there are four types: normal monster cards, effect monster cards, ritual monster cards, and pendulum monster cards.

  When the first user performs a predetermined operation from the operation unit 14 during the game, the card detailed image indicating the details of the monster card on the duel field F or in the hand can be displayed on the display unit 15. However, even if a monster card is arranged on the duel field F, the card detailed image G2 cannot be displayed when the second user's monster card is a back side defense display described later. Moreover, the 1st user can browse the card list in the graveyard Z4 of the 1st user and the 2nd user. Similarly, the second user can also browse the card list in the cemetery Z4 of the first user and the second user. Hereinafter, the details of each monster card will be described with reference to the card detail image.

  4 to 6 show detailed card images of monster cards. FIG. 4 shows a card detail image G2 of a normal monster card. Note that the layout of the card detail image G2 of the effect monster card, the ritual monster card, the fusion monster card, the Xyz monster card, and the synchro monster card is the same as that of the normal monster card, and is not shown here.

  The normal monster card is a monster card for summoning a normal monster. Normal monsters are basic monsters that have no special effects. Normal monsters do not have special effects, but there are many monsters with high attack and defense capabilities. In the card detailed image G2 shown in FIG. 4, the appearance of the monster is drawn, and the card name N20, level L21, attribute A22, race S23, card number N24, attack power A25, defense power D26, and monster information I27 are displayed. Is displayed.

  The card name N20 indicates the name of the monster. Level L21 indicates the level of the monster, and the higher the level, the stronger the monster. The attribute A22 indicates an attribute to which the monster belongs among a plurality of attributes (for example, six types of darkness, earth, flame, light, water, and wind). A race S23 indicates a race of a monster among a plurality of races (for example, a wizard, a devil, a machine, etc.). The card number N24 is information for uniquely identifying a card.

  Attack power A25 shows the attack power which is the high attack power of a monster, and defense power shows the defense power which is the high defense power of a monster. The higher the attack power and defense power, the more advantageous the battle between monsters. The monster information I27 is detailed information of the monster. If it is a normal monster, explanation of the personality and characteristics of the monster is displayed. If it is a monster other than the normal monster, the effect and usage of the monster card are displayed. .

  The effect monster card is a monster card for summoning effect monsters. The effect monster is a monster that can exert an effect like a magic card. In the card detail image G2 of the effect monster card, the contents of the effect to be activated and the condition for activating the effect are displayed in the monster information I27. In addition to the effect monsters, there are monsters that also have an effect on ceremonial monsters, fusion monsters, synchro monsters, Xyz monsters, pendulum monsters, or link monsters.

  The ritual monster card is a monster card for special summoning ritual monsters. Ritual monsters are monsters that are summoned by ceremonial summons described below. In the card detail image G2 of the ritual monster card, a ritual magic card necessary for summoning the ritual monster is displayed in the monster information I27. Details of the ritual magic card will be described later.

  FIG. 5 shows a card detail image G2 of the pendulum monster card. The Pendulum Monster Card is not only a monster card for summoning a Pendulum Monster as a monster, but also a magic card for summoning a Pendulum Summon described later. Unlike the other card detailed images G2, the card detailed image G2 shown in FIG. 5 includes a pendulum scale S28 and a pendulum effect text T29.

  The pendulum scale S28 indicates a numerical value of the pendulum scale. The Pendulum Scale is a number that determines the level of monsters that can be summoned by Pendulum Summon. Details of how to use the pendulum scale will be described later.

  The pendulum monster card can be arranged in the main monster zone Z2 like a normal monster card from the hand, or can be arranged in the pendulum zone Z3 from the hand. However, the Pendulum Monster Card cannot be placed in the Magic / Trap Zone Z3 other than the Pendulum Zone Z3.

  In the present embodiment, the content of the effect differs depending on the place where the pendulum monster card is placed. That is, the effect when the pendulum monster card is arranged in the main monster zone Z2 is different from the effect when the pendulum monster card is arranged in the pendulum zone Z3.

  The pendulum effect text T29 indicates an effect that is activated when a pendulum monster card is placed in the pendulum zone Z3. When the pendulum monster card is placed in the pendulum zone Z3, the effect of the pendulum effect text T29 is activated and the effect of the monster information I27 is not activated. On the other hand, when the pendulum monster card is arranged in the main monster zone Z2 (that is, when the pendulum monster is summoned), the effect of the pendulum effect text is not activated, and the effect of the monster information I27 is activated.

  The Fusion Monster Card is a monster card for special summoning Fusion Monsters. A fusion monster is a monster that is summoned by a fusion summon to be described later. In the card detailed image G2 of the fusion monster card, the material necessary for the fusion summon is displayed in the monster information I27. The card that is a material necessary for the fusion summon is a monster card that moves to the graveyard Z4 in exchange for the fusion monster card. In other words, the card that is a material necessary for the fusion summon is a monster card that is sent to the graveyard Z4 from the hand, the field, or both in exchange for the fusion monster card.

  The synchro monster card is a monster card for special summoning a synchro monster. Synchro Monster is a monster that is special summoned by Synchro Summon, which will be described later. In the card detail image G2 of the synchro monster card, the material necessary for the synchro summon is displayed in the monster information I27. The card that is a material necessary for the Synchro Summon is a monster card that moves to the graveyard Z4 in exchange for the Synchro Monster Card. In other words, the card that is the material required for the Synchro Summon is a monster card that is sent from the hand, the field, or both to the graveyard Z4 in exchange for the Synchro Monster.

  The Xyz Monster Card is a monster card for special summoning Xyz Monsters. The Xyz Monster is a monster that is special summoned by Xyz Summon, which will be described later. The Xyz monster has a value of rank instead of a level, and the card detailed image G2 shows the numerical value of the rank. Rank indicates the level of material required to summon an Xyz. In the card detail image G2 of the Xyz monster card, the material required for Xyz summoning is displayed in the monster information I27, indicating how many monsters of the same level as the rank are required. Xyz monsters are summoned to Duel Field F by stacking under the Xyz Monster Card instead of moving to the Graveyard Z4. In addition, regarding the cards stacked under the Xyz Monster card (cards that have become the material), various effects are activated by sending them to the graveyard Z4.

  FIG. 6 shows a card detail image G2 of the link monster card. The link monster card is a monster card for link summoning described later. A link monster is a monster that is special summoned by link summons described later. As shown in FIG. 6, the link monster has a value of LINK instead of defensive power. LINK indicates the number of link markers described later. A higher LINK value indicates a more powerful link monster. In the card detailed image G2, LINK information I30 indicating the LINK numerical value of the link monster is displayed. The link monster may have a low attack power for a special effect described later.

  Further, the card detailed image G2 illustrated in FIG. 6 includes link markers M31A to M31H, unlike the other card detailed images G2. The link markers M31A to M31H indicate eight directions, ie, upward direction, upper right direction, right direction, lower right direction, lower direction, lower left direction, left direction, and upper left direction, respectively. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the link markers M31A to M31H, they are referred to as a link marker M31.

  The link monster card has a special effect of allowing an extra monster card to be placed in the main monster zone Z2. The link marker M31 is a marker for indicating the direction (location) where the effect reaches. The link monster card can exert an effect in the direction in which the color of the link marker M31 is changed. In FIG. 6, the link marker M31 whose color has not changed is shown in white, and the link marker M31 whose color has changed is shown by a halftone dot. The link monster card in FIG. 6 has an effect in the three directions of the upward direction, the lower right direction, and the lower left direction because the colors of the three link markers M31A, M31D, and M31F have changed. Hereinafter, the direction in which the color of the link marker M31 has changed is described as “the direction indicated by the link marker M31”.

  For example, when the first user places the linked monster card of FIG. 6 in the extra monster zone Z1A, the extra monster card is placed in the main monster zones Z2A, Z2C, and Z2G located at the lower right, lower left, and upper of the extra monster zone Z1A. Will be able to. However, since the main monster zone Z2G is in the second user duel field F2, the first user cannot place an extra monster card, and the second user can place an extra monster card in the main monster zone Z2G. It becomes like this. That is, depending on the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card that the first user places in the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, not only the first user but also the second user may be advantageous.

  When a link monster card is placed at the destination indicated by the link marker M31, the area where the extra monster card can be placed may be further expanded by the link destination link monster card. For example, the first user places the “decode talker” shown in FIG. 6 in the extra monster zone Z1A, and the link monster card in which the colors of the link markers M31C and M31G have changed to the main monster zone Z2C (that is, the link When a linked monster card in which the marker M31 points to the left and right directions (for example, “honey bot” in FIGS. 7 and 8 to be described later) is placed, the main monster zones Z2B and Z2D on the left and right of the main monster zone Z2C , You will be able to place extra monster cards. In this way, by connecting linked monster cards, the area where the extra monster cards can be placed can be gradually expanded.

  It is not always necessary to place an extra monster card at the destination indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card, and a monster card other than the extra monster card can also be placed. In addition, since the 1st user and the 2nd user cannot arrange | position their card upside down, the place where the effect of a link monster card reaches cannot be changed with the direction which puts a card | curd.

  7 and 8 show a part of the duel field F when a monster card is placed at the point indicated by the link marker M31. FIG. 7 shows a case where a linked monster card called “Honeybot” is placed in the main monster zone Z2B due to the effect of another linked monster card, and a normal monster card called “Bitlon” is placed in the main monster zone Z2C. Indicates.

  As shown in FIG. 7, during a card game match, another monster card may be placed at the destination pointed by the link marker M31 of a certain linked monster card. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a link. Since “bitron” is arranged in front of the “honey bot” link marker M31C, “honey bot” and “bitron” are in a link state.

  In addition, when in the link state, the card to which the link marker M31 points is called the link destination. On the other hand, a link monster card having the link marker M31 is referred to as a link source. In the case of FIG. 7, the link destination is “Bitlon” and the link source is “Honeybot”. Some monsters have an effect that activates only when they are linked. For example, the “honey bot” of the link source can exert an effect of providing an effect and resistance to battle against the “bitron” of the link destination.

  FIG. 8 shows a case where a linked monster card “honey bot” is arranged in the main monster zones Z2B and Z2C. As shown in FIG. 8, the link marker M31 of two link monster cards may be in a state of pointing to each other. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a mutual link. In the case of FIG. 8, two “honey bots” are in a mutually linked state, and can exert an effect of giving each other an effect and resistance regarding battle.

  In this embodiment, if a user connects a mutual link in a state where a link monster card is placed in one of the two extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, a link monster card can be placed on the other. In this embodiment, the state in which the two linked monster cards arranged in the two extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are all linked together through the linked monster cards arranged in the main monster zone Z2 is called an extra link. .

  FIG. 9 shows a part of the duel field F in the case of an extra link. As described above, when the first user places a linked monster card in the extra monster zone Z1A, the first user cannot place a linked monster card in the extra monster zone Z1B. However, if the first user places all linked monster cards in the main monster zones Z2B, Z2C, Z2D in a state of being linked together (that is, an extra link), the first user will also be in the extra monster zone Z1B. Will be able to arrange.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the first user places “Link Spider” in the extra monster zone Z1A, and then the first “Star Cup Warrior Ningil”, “Honeybot”, and the second When the “Star Cup Warrior Ningils” are placed in the main monster zones Z2B, Z2C, and Z2D in order, these four linked monster cards are linked to each other. Since the color of the upward link marker M31A of the “star cup warrior Ningils” in the main monster zone Z2D has changed, the first user can place a link monster card in the extra monster zone Z1B. In this state, when the first user places a “link spider” in the extra monster zone Z1B, the extra link is completed. When the extra link is completed, since the first user's link monster card is arranged in the extra monster zone Z1B, the second user cannot arrange the extra monster card in the extra monster zone Z1B.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, an extra link is established by placing link monster cards in all three main monster zones Z2B, Z2C, and Z2D. However, depending on the link monster card, there are three main monsters. An extra link may be established even if no link monster card is placed in all of the zones Z2B, Z2C, and Z2D. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 9, a link monster in which the color of the link marker M31D in the lower right direction has changed (that is, a link monster pointing in the lower right direction) is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A, and the main monster zone Z2C If a link monster whose color of the link markers M31H and M31C in the upper left direction and the right direction has changed (that is, a link monster pointing in the upper left direction and the right direction) is placed in the main monster zone Z2B Even without this, an extra link is established. Further, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 9, a link monster in which the color of the link marker M31D in the lower right direction is changed (that is, a link monster pointing in the lower right direction) is arranged in the extra monster zone Z1A. A link monster in which the colors of the link markers M31H and M31B in the upper left direction and the upper right direction have changed in Z2C (that is, a link monster pointing in the lower left direction and the upper right direction) is placed, and the link marker in the lower left direction is placed in the extra monster zone Z1B. When a link monster whose color of M31F has changed (that is, a link monster pointing in the lower left direction) is arranged, an extra link is established even if no link monster is arranged in the main monster zones Z2B and Z2D.

  [2-2-3-2] The magic card is a card having an effect for supporting a battle, and includes a normal magic card, a haste magic card, a permanent magic card, a field magic card, an equipment magic card, and a ritual magic card. There are six types.

  When the first user performs a predetermined operation from the operation unit 14 during the game, the details of the magic card on the duel field F or in the hand can be displayed on the card detail image G2. However, even if the magic card is arranged on the duel field F, the card detailed image G2 cannot be displayed when the magic card of the second user is displayed on the back side described later. Hereinafter, the details of each magic card will be described with reference to the card detail image.

  FIG. 10 shows a card detail image G2 of the magic card. FIG. 10 shows a card detail image G2 of a haste magic card. The layout of the card detail image G2 of the normal magic card, the permanent magic card, the field magic card, the equipment magic card, and the ritual magic card is the same as that of the normal magic card, and is not shown here.

  A normal magic card is a card that can only be used during your main phase. The normal magic card is speed spell 1. Details of the main phase and speed spell will be described later.

  In the card detail image G2 shown in FIG. 10, an illustration showing the contents of magic is drawn, and a card name N32, a card type A33, an effect icon I34, a card number N35, and effect information I36 are displayed.

  The card name N32 indicates the name of the magic card. The card type A33 is displayed with an icon indicating whether it is a magic card or a spear card. The effect icon I34 is an icon indicating the type of effect. For example, the normal magic of the normal magic card has no special icon, and the quick magic of the haste magic card, the permanent magic of the permanent magic card, the permanent magic of the field magic card, the permanent magic of the equipment magic card, the equipment magic of the equipment magic card, and the ritual magic card The ritual magic is displayed with an icon for identifying each. For example, an effect icon I34 indicating that the magic card “Cyclone” in FIG. 10 is haste magic is displayed. The card number N35 is information for uniquely identifying a card. The effect information I36 describes a magic card activation condition and its effect.

  The haste magic card is basically a card that can activate its effect at any time. The haste magic card is a special magic card that can be activated even during the opponent's turn. However, the effect cannot be activated in the turn where the haste magic card is placed in the Magic / Trap Zone Z3. In order to activate the effect of the haste magic card in the opponent's turn, the haste magic card needs to be arranged in advance in the magic / saddle zone Z3 with the back side display described later. The haste magic card is speed spell 2.

  A permanent magic card is a card that can only be used during your main phase, and will remain in the magic and trap zone even after the effect is activated, and the effect will be activated permanently. The permanent magic card is speed spell 1.

  The field magic card is a card that activates the same effect as the permanent magic card, but the area where it can be placed is limited to the field zone Z6. The field magic card continues to remain in the field zone Z6 even after the effect is activated. Instead of moving the field magic card in the field zone Z6 to the graveyard, a new field magic card can be arranged in the field zone Z6. The field magic card is speed spell 1.

  Equip magic cards have an effect on one monster, and remain active in the Magic / Samurai Zone Z3 even after activation, and the effect is activated permanently. The equipment magic card is Speed Spell 1.

  The ritual magic card is a magic card for summoning ritual monsters. When the ritual magic card is used, it moves to the graveyard Z4. The ritual magic card is speed spell 1.

  [2-2-3-3] A spear card is a card having an effect for supporting a battle. A spear card is similar to a magic card, but differs from a magic card in that an effect can be activated on the opponent's turn. For this reason, the spear card cannot be activated basically in the turn placed in the magic / claw zone Z3, but can be activated from the next turn. The trap card can be activated at any turn of the first user and the second user as long as the turn is later than the placed turn. There are three types of spear cards: normal spear cards, permanent spear cards, and counter spear cards.

  When the first user performs a predetermined operation from the operation unit 14 during the game, the details of the coffin card on the duel field F or in the hand can be displayed on the card detail image G2. However, even if the bag card is arranged on the duel field F, the card detailed image G2 cannot be displayed when the second user's bag card is displayed on the back side described later. Hereinafter, the details of each card will be described with reference to the card detail image.

  FIG. 11 shows a card detail image G2 of the bag card. FIG. 11 shows a card detail image G2 of the permanent bag card. Note that the layout of the card detail image G2 of the normal card and the counter card is the same as that of the normal magic card, and is not shown here. As shown in FIG. 11, the samurai card has an illustration showing the contents of the samurai, and basically has the same layout as the magic card. Therefore, the card name N32, the card type A33, the effect icon I34, the card number N35, and the effect information I36 are displayed on the bag card.

  A normal trap card is a trap card that has a single-use effect, and, like a normal magic card, moves to the graveyard when activated. The normal spear card is speed spell 2.

  As with the permanent magic card, the permanent trap card remains in the magic / trap zone Z3 and the effect is activated permanently. The permanent spear card is speed spell 2.

  The counter card is basically a card that is activated in response to the activation of another card, and has, for example, an effect of invalidating the activation of the card itself. The counter spear card is speed spell 3.

  [2-3] Next, monster summoning will be described. Summoning monsters means placing monster cards in places that meet the conditions, and letting monsters appear in the game. In other words, “summoning a monster” means placing a monster card in a place that meets the conditions to make the monster usable for battle (attack on the opponent, etc.). Here, before explaining the summons, the card layout format (display format) will be described. In the present embodiment, a plurality of arrangement formats are defined for the card, and the first user and the second user can select any arrangement format and arrange the monster card in the duel field F. .

  FIG. 12 shows the arrangement format of monster cards. As shown in FIG. 12, there are three types of monster card arrangement formats: front side attack display, back side defense display, and front side defense display. The front-side attack display is to place a monster card face up and vertically, and can perform a battle based on the attack power of the monster card. The back side defensive display is to place a monster card face down sideways, and can perform a battle based on the defensive power of the monster card. The front side defense display is to place a monster card face up sideways, and can perform a battle based on the defense power of the monster card.

  When the 1st user or the 2nd user arranges a monster card and summons a monster, either front side attack display or back side defense display can be selected, but front side defense display cannot be selected. However, as an exception, when summoning an extra monster, either the front attack display or the front defense display can be selected. Moreover, the 1st user or the 2nd user can also perform the reverse summon which makes the monster card of a back side defense display the front side attack display. However, in reverse summoning, the monster card with the reverse side defense cannot be changed to the front side defense display. The monster card on the back side defense display reverses to the front side defense display when it receives an attack from the opponent or a specific magic card is activated. Furthermore, the arrangement format can be changed between the front side attack display and the front side defense display.

  There are two types of arrangement of the magic card and the spear card: front side display and back side display. The front side display is a vertical arrangement of a magic card or a spear card facing up, and the effect is activated. The reverse side display is a vertical arrangement of the magic card or the spear card in a face-up state, and the effect is in a standby state. When a magic card or a spear card is displayed on the back side, it is necessary to change it to the front side display in order to activate the effect. Magic cards and spear cards cannot be placed sideways. Further, placing the card face down is sometimes called a set, but in this embodiment, it is described as a back side display or a back side defensive display.

  There are two types of summons: normal summons and special summons. Normal summons can only be performed once per turn. Special Summons have no limit on the number of times they can be executed unless explicitly stated on the card.

  Normal summoning is to place a monster card in your hand in the main monster zone Z2. Monsters below level 4 can be summoned as is. Level 5 and 6 monsters can be summoned in exchange for a monster on Summoned Duel Field F. In exchange for a monster means sending a monster being summoned (a monster card placed on Duel Field F) to the graveyard Z4, and hereinafter referred to as a release. Level 7 or higher monsters must release 2 monsters that are summoned on Duel Field F. Hereinafter, a normal summon that requires the release of one or more monsters (that is, a normal summon of a monster with level 5 or higher) is referred to as an advance summon.

  In normal summoning, you can place monster cards in front-side attack display or back-side defense display. Even if the monster card of level 5 or higher is displayed on the back side, it is an advance summon, so it is necessary to release one or more monsters.

  Special summons are other than normal summons. For example, ritual summons, fusion summons, contact fusions, synchro summons, xyz summons, pendulum summons, and link summons are examples of “special summons”. In special summoning, you can select either front-side attack display or front-side defense display, but since link monsters do not have defensive power, link summoning is only front-side attack display. Moreover, since the link monster arrangement format is only the front side attack display, the arrangement format is not changed by the effects of the monster effect, magic card, and trap card.

  Ritual summoning is a special summoning of a ritual monster. Ritual summoning can be performed by placing a ritual magic card in the magic and trap zone Z3 to activate the effect and releasing the monster based on the summoning conditions indicated in the monster information I27 of the ritual magic card. In ceremonial summoning, there is no need for a specific monster as a material, and it is necessary to release it to satisfy the summoning condition such as “the total level is 8 or more” or send it from the hand to the graveyard Z4. The ritual magic card used in the ceremonial summon moves to the graveyard.

  Fusion summoning is a special summoning of a fusion monster. Fusion summoning can be performed by placing a fusion card, which is a normal magic card, in the magic and trap zone Z3, activating the effect, and releasing a monster of the material indicated in the monster information I27 of the fusion summoning card. The material monsters do not necessarily have to be summoned, and the monsters in the hand monster card can be used as materials. Note that the Fusion Card used in Fusion Summon moves to the graveyard.

  Contact fusion is a special summoning of fusion monsters using a special summoning method different from fusion summoning. Contact fusion can be performed by returning a specific normal monster card and a material monster card to the deck of the main deck zone Z5. The Fusion Monster summoned by Contact Fusion returns to the deck in the Extra Deck Zone Z7 during the end phase of the summoned turn. Details of the end phase will be described later.

  Synchro Summon is a special summon of Synchro Monster. Synchro Summoning can be performed by releasing these monsters when the sum of the levels of a specific monster called a tuner and the levels of other monsters is the same as the level of the Synchro Monster. In the present embodiment, there is dark synchro summon as a kind of synchro summon. Dark Synchro Summoning can be done by releasing these monsters when the number of subtracting the level of a specific monster called Dark Tuner and the level of another monster is the same as the level of the Synchro Monster. it can.

  Xyz Summoning is a special summoning Xyz Monster. Xyz Summoning can be done by superimposing the Xyz Monster Card and the Monster Card of the same level as the Xyz Monster rank. This can be done by using a monster of the material shown in the monster information I27 of the Xyz monster card. In Xyz Summoning, there is no need for a specific monster as a material, and it is necessary to satisfy the summoning condition of “two or more Level 4 monsters”. In addition, the monster that became the material is not released, but is layered under the Xyz monster and sent to the graveyard Z4 to activate various effects.

  Pendulum summoning is a special summoning of other monsters using a Pendulum monster. Pendulum summoning can be performed by placing a Pendulum Monster Card in Pendulum Zone Z3. The pendulum monster card is placed in the pendulum zone Z3 by being removed from the hand, like the field magic card and the permanent magic card. In Pendulum Summoning, you can Special Summon any number of monsters between the Pendulum Scales indicated by the Pendulum Monster Cards placed on the left and right once per turn.

  For example, if the smaller one of the pendulum scales of the two left and right pendulum monster cards is the first value, and the larger one is the second value, the sum of the pendulum summons is higher than the first value, and You can Special Summon a monster with a level less than the second value. If the left and right Pendulum Monster Cards have the same or different Pendulum Scale, there is no numerical value between them, and Pendulum Summoning will not be possible.

  FIG. 13 shows how a Pendulum summon is performed. In the example of FIG. 13, a pendulum monster card with a pendulum scale of 2 is arranged in the left pendulum zone Z3A, and a pendulum monster card with a pendulum scale of 8 is arranged in the right pendulum zone Z3E. In this case, you can summon Pendulums for level 3-7 monsters between level 2 and level 8. In the example of FIG. 13, one monster of each level 3 to 7 is summoned by Pendulum Summon. It is also possible to summon multiple monsters of the same level by Pendulum Summoning. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to summon two level 4 monsters, two level 5 monsters, and one level 7 monster.

  When the first user or the second user special summons the pendulum monster from his / her hand, the pendulum monster card is removed from the hand and placed in the main monster zone Z2. On the other hand, when the first user or the second user summons the pendulum monster from the deck of the extra deck zone Z7, the pendulum monster card is removed from the deck and placed in the extra monster zone Z1. That is, even if they are the same Pendulum Monster Card, after moving to the deck of the Extra Deck Zone Z7, they are treated the same as the Extra Monster Card. If the extra monster is properly summoned and sent to the graveyard Z4 and then special summoned from the graveyard Z4, the extra monster card is placed in the main monster zone Z2.

  Link summoning is a special summoning of link monsters. The link summoning is performed by releasing the material monster based on the summoning conditions indicated in the monster information I27 of the link monster card. The link summoning material does not have to be a specific monster, and may be a monster that satisfies the summoning condition. The summoning condition may be, for example, a condition of “two or more effect monsters and the same number of monsters as the LINK of the linked monster card”.

  In addition, when a linked monster is used as a material for link summoning, the LINK value of the linked monster of the material is treated as the number of monsters of the material. For this reason, when a link monster with a LINK of 2 is used as a material, the link monster is counted as a material for two bodies.

  FIG. 14 shows how link summoning is performed. Here, a case where the LINK value of the link monster card is 3 and the summoning condition is “two or more effect monsters and the same number of monsters as the LINK of the link monster card” is taken as an example. As shown in FIG. 14, for example, when three effect monsters are normally summoned, the summoning condition is satisfied, so that the link summoning with the link monster card in which the summoning condition is described is possible.

  In the case of FIG. 14, in exchange for releasing three effect monsters, the target link monster card is removed from the deck of the extra deck zone Z7A and placed in the extra monster zone Z1A. This completes the link summon. If both of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are vacant, a link monster card may be placed on any one of them.

  [2-4] Next, the flow of the card game will be described. As described above, the card game is executed in a turn system, and during the battle, the turn of the first user and the turn of the second user are alternately repeated. Each turn has a plurality of phases for clearly dividing the procedure in the turn.

  FIG. 15 shows the phase in each turn. As shown in FIG. 15, there are six types of phases: draw phase P1, standby phase P2, first main phase P3, battle phase P4, second main phase P5, and end phase P6. At the start of the match, the first user and the second user are determined first and second, and the first user and the second user draw five cards from their main deck zone Z5 deck. Executed. Thereafter, the hands C1 and C2 are displayed in the game image G1, and the game starts from the first turn.

  In the first turn after the start of the battle, the draw phase P1, the battle phase P4, and the second main phase P5 are omitted. Therefore, when the battle starts, the first standby phase P2, the first main phase P3, the first end phase P6, the second draw phase P1, the second standby phase P2, and the first main phase P3. The battle progresses such as the battle phase P4 of the second attack, the second main phase P5 of the second attack, the end phase P6 of the second attack, the draw phase P1 of the first attack. Each time the first user and the second user finish their turn, the number of turns is counted such as the first turn, the second turn, the third turn, etc., and the turn T of the game image G1 Shown in

  [2-4-1] The draw phase P1 is the first phase performed in the turn. Hereinafter, the direction of the first user and the second user that is proceeding with the turn is referred to as a turn user, and the direction that is not proceeding with the turn is referred to as an opponent user. In the turn of the first user, the turn user is the first user and the partner user is the second user. In the turn of the second user, the turn user is the second user and the other user is the first user.

  In the draw phase P1, an effect is performed in which the turn user draws one card from the top of his / her main deck zone Z5A and adds it to the hand. As described above, when there is no card in the deck of the main deck zone Z5A and the turn user cannot draw the card, the turn user loses. Also, during the draw phase P1, until the turn user performs an action to draw a card from the deck, and before moving to the standby phase P2, the monster card that has a triggered immediate effect, the immediate magic card, You can activate a card, permanent card, or counter card. Hereinafter, activating the effect of the monster card having a triggered immediate effect at this stage and the effect of the haste magic card, the normal spear card, the permanent spear card, or the counter spear card is referred to as a quick effect.

  [2-4-2] In the standby phase P2, when there is a card having an effect of “turning to the standby phase P2” on the duel field F, processing of the effect is executed. The effect can be activated only once in the standby phase P2. For example, in the standby phase P2, the effect of “pay 300 life points during the standby phase of your turn to select one card other than the monster card in your graveyard and return it to the bottom of the deck” Occur. Further, for example, the effect of “paying 500 life points for each opponent's standby phase, so that one opponent's hand can be seen at random” occurs in the standby phase P2.

  [2-4-3] The first main phase P3 is a phase in which the turn user can use the card most freely, monster summoning (monster card placement), monster card placement format change, effects of each card Can be activated, and a magic card or a spear card can be placed on the back side. The turn user can perform these actions in any order, but some actions have a limited number of times.

  For example, if the turn user summons a monster in the first main phase P3, reverse summoning and special summoning can be performed many times during one turn, but normal summoning on the front attack display and backside defense display Normal summons can only be done once. The normal summons here include the advanced summons described above. The number of times of normal summoning is set to include the number of second main phases P5 described later. For this reason, when the turn user normally summons in the first main phase P3, the limit number of times is reached, so that the normal summoning cannot be performed in the second main phase P5 of the same turn.

  When the turn user changes the monster card arrangement format in the first main phase P3, it can be executed only once for each monster card on the Duel Field F. For this reason, the turn user cannot change the arrangement format for the same monster card many times during the same turn. Note that the turn user cannot change the monster card arrangement format of the monster summoned in the first main phase P3 in the first main phase P3 of the same turn. Even if the arrangement format is not changed in the first main phase P3, the monster card of the monster that participated in the attack in the battle phase P4 cannot be changed in the second main phase P5.

  When the turn user activates the card effect in the first main phase P3, the effect can be activated as many times as the hand and cost allow. In addition, when the turn user arranges the magic card or the trap card in the first main phase P3, the magic card and the trap card can be set up to a maximum of five, excluding the field zone Z6, including the magic card and the trap card already arranged. it can.

  [2-4-4] Battle Phase P4 is a phase in which a monster card on Duel Field F is used for battle. The battle phase P4 is divided into a plurality of steps, and proceeds according to a predetermined procedure. The battle phase P4 is not necessarily performed, and the battle phase P4 can be skipped. For this reason, even if a monster card is arranged on the duel field F, it is possible to shift to the end phase P6 without performing the battle phase P4 according to the judgment of the turn user.

  FIG. 16 shows the flow of the battle phase P4. As shown in FIG. 16, the battle phase P4 includes a start step S4-1, a battle step S4-2, a damage step S4-3, and an end step S4-4. Battle step S4-2 and damage step S4-3 can be repeated as much as possible.

  The start step S4-1 is a step of making a declaration for entering the battle phase P4. When entering the battle phase P4, an effect that the turn user declares “I will enter the battle phase P4” is performed on the game image G1. As described above, since the battle phase P4 cannot be performed only in the first turn, the battle phase P4 is performed from the second turn onward.

  Battle step S4-2 is a step in which the turn user selects one monster to be attacked and one monster of the opponent user as an attack target from the monster card of his / her front attack display. In this case, an effect in which the turn user declares an attack is performed on the game image G1. The attack is basically limited to once per monster. When an effect of declaring an attack is performed, the process proceeds to damage step S4-3. When the damage step S4-3 is completed, the process returns to the battle step S4-2 again, and the above order is repeated as much as possible.

  The damage step S4-3 is a step for calculating damage and deriving a battle result. When the damage step S4-3 ends, the process returns to the battle step S4-2 again. The damage step S4-3 proceeds through five timings.

  FIG. 17 shows five timings included in the damage step S4-3. The damage step S4-3 shown in FIG. 17 includes five timings in order of time series: damage step start TM1, damage calculation before TM2, damage calculation TM3, damage calculation TM4, and damage step end TM5.

  Damage step start time TM1 is a timing at which damage step S4-3 starts. In addition, when attacking the monster of the monster card of the back side defense display, the monster card does not become the front side defense display at this timing. At the beginning of the damage step TM1, an effect of a card described as “at the time of damage step S4-3” or “does not calculate damage” and an effect of changing the attack power / defense power of the monster are activated.

  TM2 before damage calculation is a timing to reverse the monster card on the back side defense display to the front side attack display or the front side defense display. Note that the effect described as “when this card is reversed” on the reversed monster card is not processed here, but is processed in TM4 after damage calculation described later. After the monster card on the back side defense display is reversed, the effect of the card described as “Damage step S4-3” or “TM2 before damage calculation” and the effect of changing the monster's attack power / defense power Activate.

  At the time of damage calculation TM3 is a timing for entering damage calculation. At the time of damage calculation TM3, it is decided to reduce life points or destroy monsters due to battle. At this time, the monster determined to be destroyed in battle is not sent to the graveyard, but is sent to the graveyard at the end of the damage step TM5 described later. At the time of damage calculation TM3, the effect of the card described as “to damage calculation TM3” and the effect of the counter card are activated.

  At the time of damage calculation, the calculation method of damage in TM3 varies depending on the arrangement format of the monster card of the monster to be attacked. Here, the monster that starts the attack is described as an attack monster, and the monster that is the attack target is described as an opponent monster.

  When the monster card of the opponent monster is face-up attack display, win / loss and damage are calculated based on the attack power of the attacking monster and the attack power of the opponent monster. For example, when the attack power of the attacking monster is higher than the attack power of the opponent monster, the opponent monster is destroyed, and the numerical value corresponding to the attack power exceeding the attack monster is the damage of the opponent user. Also, for example, if the attack power of the attacking monster and the attack power of the opponent monster are the same, both monsters are destroyed together. In this case, neither the turn user nor the opponent user is damaged. Further, for example, when the attack power of the attacking monster is lower than the attack power of the opponent monster, the attack monster is destroyed, and the numerical value corresponding to the attack power exceeding the opponent monster is the turn user's damage.

  When the monster card of the opponent monster is the front side defense display or the back side defense display, win / loss and damage are calculated based on the attack power of the attacking monster and the defense strength of the opponent monster. In the case of the back side defensive display, the damage determination process is performed after being reversed so as to be the front side defensive display. For example, when the attack power of the attacking monster is higher than the defense power of the opponent monster, the opponent monster is destroyed. In this case, neither the turn user nor the opponent user is damaged. For example, when the attack power of the attacking monster is the same as the defense power of the opponent monster, neither monster is destroyed and both remain. In this case, neither the turn user nor the opponent user is damaged. For example, when the attack power of the attacking monster is lower than the defense power of the opponent monster, neither monster is destroyed and both remain. In this case, the value of the defensive power that the opponent monster exceeded exceeds the turn user's damage.

  If there is no opponent monster, the attacking monster can attack the opponent user directly. In the case of direct attack, the attack power of the attacking monster is directly used as the damage of the opponent user.

  TM4 after damage calculation is a timing for processing an effect that is activated when a battle is performed. When the monster card on the back side defense display is reversed in TM2 before damage calculation, the effect of “when this card is reversed” of the monster card is processed. After damage calculation, TM4 shows the effects of cards that are described as “when combat damage is given”, “when battle damage is received”, “TM4 after damage calculation”, or “when battle is performed”. It is activated based on the chain to be performed. As for the effects of other cards, basically only the effects of counter 罠 cards are activated.

  At the end of the damage step TM5 is a timing at which the monster that is determined to be destroyed by battle is sent to the graveyard and the damage step S4-3 is ended. At the end of the damage step TM5, an effect of a card such as “When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard” is activated based on a chain described later. As for the effects of other cards, basically only the effects of counter 罠 cards are activated.

  Of these five timings included in the damage step S4-3, at a timing other than the pre-damage calculation TM2, a chain described later can be assembled only once. For example, if an opponent's monster attacks, you can activate this card by discarding this card from your hand when calculating the damage. There are two effect monsters that have the effect of 0. Even if it was disabled by a counter trap with an effect such as "Discard one hand and activate it. Invalidate and destroy the effect of the effect monster's effect." The effect is not activated.

  The end step S4-4 is a step visited when the battle step S4-2 and the damage step S4-3 are repeated and there is no monster to be attacked. In this case, an effect that the turn user declares that “Battle Phase P4 is finished” is performed on the game image G1. Thereby, the battle phase P4 ends.

  [2-4-5] The second main phase P5 is a phase that occurs only when the battle phase P4 is performed. The actions that the turn user can perform in the second main phase P5 are basically the same as those in the first main phase P3. For this reason, the second main phase P5 includes actions such as summoning monsters (placement of monster cards), changing the placement format of monster cards, activating the effects of each card, and placing them on the back side display of magic cards and trap cards. Can do.

  However, if the turn user performs an action with a limited number of times in the first main phase P3, the action cannot be performed in the second main phase P5. For example, since the normal summon of a monster is limited to once per turn, when the normal summon is performed in the first main phase P3, the normal summon cannot be performed in the second main phase P5. It is also the second main phase P5 that can be summoned to summon, Xyz summoned, or Pendulum summoned.

  [2-4-6] End phase P6 is a phase in which the turn ends. In the end phase P6, an effect in which the turn user declares the end of the turn is performed on the game image G1. If the turn user has seven or more cards in hand, discard the cards in the hand so that there are six cards.

  [2-5] Next, priority will be described. In each phase or step described above, the right to activate the card first lies with the turn user who is always turning. Hereinafter, this right is referred to as turn user priority. As long as the turn user has priority, the opponent user cannot activate the card first, except for the trigger effect that activates spontaneously. When the turn user exercises the priority and activates the card, or when the turn user gives up the priority, the priority is automatically transferred to the other user. Note that the priority must be abandoned before the turn user can advance a phase or step. When the turn user activates the card and then finishes the step or turn, the priority is transferred to the opponent user. The step or turn ends when the other user discards the priority.

  The act in which the priority right of the turn user is not transferred to the other user is assumed to be predetermined. For example, when the start of each phase or the start by the turn user, the start of each step, the timing when the quick effect can be activated immediately after, the summoning of the monster succeeds, "No Summon Monster" and "Summon Chain 1 Monster", when you change the monster layout, when you declare an attack, when you place a card on the reverse side, and after the process is finished, draw in the draw phase P1 Such as when.

  [2-6] Next, card effect processing will be described. During the battle, there is a case where an effect such as activating the card effect according to the effect of the opponent's card is performed. A chain, which will be described later, is generated when the effect is activated, and each effect is sequentially processed.

  [2-6-1] A chain is a method for smoothly resolving effects such as magic cards and spear cards, and is an act of activating another card in response to the activation of one card. That means. Hereinafter, the activation of another card in response to the activation of one card is referred to as chain activation.

  FIG. 18 shows the mechanism of the chain. As shown in FIG. 18, the card first activated is a chain 1, and each time the chain is activated, the chain 2, chain 3,... And the card activated (chain block) are stacked. When chain activation ends, effect processing is entered, and effect processing is executed in order from the last activated chain. For example, when the last activated chain is the chain 5, the effect processing is executed in the order of the chain 5, the chain 4, the chain 3, the chain 2, and the chain 1.

  [2-6-2] Spell speed is set for the effects of the magic card, the spear card, and the effect monster card. There are three types of spell speeds: spell speed 1, spell speed 2, and spell speed 3.

  Spell speed 1 is the slowest spell speed, and is a card that cannot spontaneously trigger a chain for any other trigger. For this reason, basically, the chain 2 is not increased. Spell speed 1 corresponds to a normal magic card, an equipment magic card, a field magic card, a ritual magic card, a permanent magic card, and an effect monster card.

  Spell Speed 2 is a card that can be chained to Spell Speed 1 and Spell Speed 2. That is, a card that can be activated in response to the activation of a spell speed 1 or spell speed 2 card corresponds to the spell speed 2. Spell speed 2 corresponds to a card that can be activated at any timing or a card that can be activated even during the opponent's turn.

  Spell Speed 3 is the fastest spell speed card that can be chained to any speed. Only cards with the same Spell Speed 3 can support Spell Speed 3 cards. Spell Speed 3 corresponds to a counter card.

  [2-6-3] There are three types of effects that a monster has: a start effect, a trigger effect, and a trigger immediate effect.

  An activation effect is an effect that can be used by declaring an activation. Activation effects can only be activated during your main phase. The activation effect can only be activated if you have the priority to activate spell speed 1 in the main phase of your turn. For example, even if it is written once per turn on the card, the activation effect cannot be activated during the opponent's turn.

  The inducing effect is an effect that is activated at a timing determined by the monster card, such as a monster card in which “at the standby phase P2”, “when the monster is destroyed”, or the like is described. The triggering effect is an effect that is easily detected by the opponent in advance and easily countered, but it is also possible to extract the triggering condition depending on the effect of other cards and the player's play, and to trigger it at the target timing.

  The triggered immediate effect is a special effect that can be activated even during the opponent's turn, although the timing of use is limited. Only the triggered immediate effect has a spell speed of 2 despite being an effect monster card. The triggered immediate effect is unlikely to notice the presence of a card like a spear card, and can give an unexpected effect to the opponent.

  [2-6-4] For example, conditions such as “destroyed” and “sent to graveyard” are defined as triggering conditions, and there are many cards or effects that can be triggered by specific actions. Among these cards or effects, an arbitrary effect whose activation condition is “when it is performed” can be activated only at a timing immediately after the activation condition is satisfied. The optional effect is an effect described on the card as “... Can be done” and the like, and is an effect that can be selected to activate or not.

  Even if the activation condition is satisfied, such an arbitrary effect may be in a state where the activation is not permitted depending on the arbitrary effect. In this case, if another process is performed thereafter, the effect can no longer be activated later. In the present embodiment, this state is referred to as “missing timing”.

  The effects are roughly classified into three types: “forced effect”, “arbitrary effect”, and “optional effect in case”. “Forced effect” is an effect written on the card as “... The compulsory effect is an effect that activates without question and answer regardless of the will of the first user or the second user when the activation condition is satisfied. The “arbitrary effect at the time” is the arbitrary effect of the activation condition described above. “Any effect in case” is an arbitrary effect whose activation condition is “when ...”.

  In the present embodiment, the effect of the card described as “... when” is distinguished from the effect of the card described as “...”. “When ...” means that it can be used only immediately after the activation condition is satisfied. For this reason, even if an activation condition is satisfied during some effect or chain processing, the effect of the card may not be used. On the other hand, "when ..." means that it can be used when the activation condition is satisfied. When “...”, unlike “...”, the card effect is used after the completion of the processing if the trigger condition is satisfied during the processing of some effect or chain. can do. That is, the effect of “...” can be activated not only immediately after the activation condition is satisfied, but also after that.

  As described above, “forced effect” is forcibly activated, and “optional effect in case” is activated after processing of effects and chains, etc., so “forced effect” and “optional effect in case” are in principle As never miss the timing. On the other hand, since the “arbitrary effect at time” is activated only immediately after the activation condition is satisfied, the timing may be missed depending on the situation.

  [2-6-4-1] First, the processing when the timing of the effect is not missed will be described. Here, for example, an effect monster called “Holy Bird Crane” that has the effect of “When this card is special summoned, the controller of this card draws a card.” As described above, the effect of “Holy Bird Crane” is a compulsory effect of “...”.

  For example, it is assumed that the first user activates a magic card “Cyclone” having a haste magic “Can be activated for one field magic / Trap card. Destroy that card” as Chain 1.

  Then, in Chain 2, the second user says, “You can activate this card for one monster in your graveyard. Special summon that monster with an attack indication. When this card leaves the field, that monster is destroyed. Suppose that a card called “Living Dead Call” with a permanent trap that says “This card will be destroyed when the monster is destroyed” is activated for “Holy Bird Crane” in the graveyard.

  If there is no card that the first user and the second user want to chain with each other, the process proceeds to effect processing as described above. Since the effect processing is executed in order from the top of the chain, the effect processing of the chain 2 is executed, and “Saint Bird Crane” is specially summoned by the “Living Dead Call”. At this stage, the trigger condition for the effect of “Holy Bird Crane” is satisfied.

  Next, the effect processing of the chain 1 is executed, and the “cyclone” is an effect of destroying the card as described above, so the timing is changed to “when the card is destroyed”. When the second user destroys the magic card or the spear card due to the “cyclone” effect, a series of chain effect processing ends. Immediately thereafter, the effect of “Holy Bird Crane” is forcibly activated, so the second user draws one card from the deck of the main deck zone Z5B. In this way, since “Sacred Bird Crane” is a compulsory effect, the timing of the effect is not missed.

  The following three patterns often miss the timing of the effect. The first pattern is a case where the activation condition is satisfied after chain 2. The second pattern is a case where the activation condition is satisfied during a series of effects. The third pattern is a case where the activation condition is satisfied by being sent to the graveyard as a cost, release, or synchro summon material.

  [2-6-4-2] First, the first pattern will be described. Here, for example, an effect monster called “Yellow Gadget” that has the effect of “This card can be activated when it is successfully summoned / special summoned. Add one green gadget from your deck to your hand” is an example. The effect of “Yellow Gadget” is “arbitrary effect of time”, “... time”.

  For example, it is assumed that the first user activates “Cyclone” as the chain 1. Then, in the chain 2, it is assumed that the second user activates “Living Dead Call” for “Yellow Gadget” in the graveyard. If there is no card that the first user and the second user want to chain with each other, the process proceeds to effect processing.

  First, the effect processing of chain 2 is executed, and “Yellow Gadget” is specially summoned by “Living Dead Call”. At this stage, it is time to activate the “Yellow Gadget” effect, but this effect cannot be activated because it is in the chain.

  Next, the effect processing of the chain 1 is executed, the “cyclone” effect is activated, and the timing changes to “when the card is destroyed”. When the second user destroys the magic card or the spear card due to the “cyclone” effect, a series of chain effect processing ends. Unlike the compulsory effect of “Holy Bird Crane”, “Yellow Gadget” is an “arbitrary effect”, and after the end of the chain, it is not the timing at which the “Yellow Gadget” effect is already activated. The effect is not activated. For this reason, the first user cannot add the “green gadget” to the hand. The above is the first pattern that misses the timing of the effect.

  [2-6-4-3] Next, the second pattern will be described. Here, it can be activated when this card is successfully summoned. Special summon a monster with level 4 or lower from the hand. When this effect is activated, this card becomes a defense indication. Take an effect monster called “Goblindberg” as an example. The effect of “Goblindberg” is an “arbitrary effect of time”, “... time”.

  For example, when the first user summons “Goblindberg”, the effect is activated and the effect process is executed. In this case, it is assumed that “green gadget” is specially summoned from the hand of the first user by the effect process of “Goblindberg”. “Green Gadget” is an effect monster that has the effect “It can be activated when this card is successfully summoned / special summoned. Add 1 Red Gadget from your deck to your hand.” The effect of “green gadget” is an “arbitrary effect of time”, “... time”.

  When the “Green Gadget” is specially summoned, the trigger conditions for the “Green Gadget” are met. Then, due to the effect of “Goblindberg”, “Goblindberg” changes to the front side defensive display, and the timing changes to “when the monster becomes the defensive display”.

  As described above, it is the timing when the effect can be activated immediately after the completion of the “Goblindberg” series of processing, but immediately after the “Green Gadget” activation condition is satisfied, Since the process has entered, “green gadget” which is “arbitrary effect of time” misses the activation timing. Note that the series of effects may end in the middle when the subsequent processing is impossible, and in that case, the timing is not missed. The above is the second pattern that misses the timing of the effect.

  [2-6-4-4] Next, the third pattern will be described. Here, an effect monster called “Battery Batter” that has the effect of “When this card on your field is sent to the graveyard, you can special summon 1 insect monster from your hand.” Take an example. The effect of “sponsor hitting batter” is an “arbitrary effect of time” of “... time”.

  For example, it is assumed that the first user has released “priced batter” for advance summoning. In this case, since the “striking batter” is sent to the graveyard, the activation condition is satisfied. Then, the monster in the hand of the first user is advanced summoned, and the timing changes to “when advance summoning”. In the above case, although it is not the processing of the chain, the order of advance summoning after the release occurs, and the trigger timing of “spontaneous batter” which is “arbitrary effect of time” is missed. The above is the third pattern that misses the timing of the effect.

  In the present embodiment, a magic card is placed face-up on the magic / 罠 zone Z3 from the hand, or a magic card or trap card placed on the back side of the magic / 罠 zone Z3 is turned face-up. Was described as card activation. On the other hand, effects that activate when permanent magic cards and permanent trap cards are placed face-up, or those that activate when destroyed or sent to a graveyard are described as effect activations and card activations They are distinguished.

  [2-7] The card game described above has the following characteristics.

  “2-7-1” In other words, in the card game described above, not only the first user duel field F1 and the second user duel field F2, but also the extra monster zone Z1 is set in the duel field F as a common area. Therefore, the first configuration for improving the strategy in the card game is provided.

  [2-7-2] Further, in the card game described above, when a link monster card associated with the link marker M31 is arranged in the extra monster zone Z1, the link marker M31 in the main monster zone Z2 is used. By accepting the arrangement of the extra monster card in the main monster zone Z2 corresponding to the direction indicated by, the second configuration for improving the strategy in the card game is provided.

  [2-7-3] Furthermore, in the card game described above, it is necessary to set a dedicated area for the Pendulum Monster Card by allowing the Pendulum Monster Card to be placed in the Magic / Trap Zone Z3 (Pendulum Monster Zone). And has a third configuration that reduces the space required for the Pendulum Monster Card.

  [3. Functional Block] The first configuration, the second configuration, and the third configuration will be described in detail.

  [3-1] First, the first configuration will be described. FIG. 19 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks related to the first configuration. As shown in FIG. 19, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100, a first user area setting unit 110, a second user area setting unit 120, a shared area setting unit 130, a first block as functional blocks related to the first configuration. A placement control unit 140, a second placement control unit 150, a third placement control unit 160, and a game process execution unit 170 are included.

  For example, the data storage unit 100 is realized by at least one of the storage unit 12, the database DB, and the storage unit 32, and the other functional blocks are realized by at least one of the control unit 11 and the control unit 31. . Instead of the storage unit 12 (or together with the storage unit 12), a storage unit of another device accessible from the game terminal 10 may be used.

  [3-1-1] The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for executing the card game. Here, as an example of data stored in the data storage unit 100, user list data D101, card list data D102, possessed card list data D103, deck data D104, extra deck data D105, game field data D106, and game situation data D107. Will be described.

  [3-1-1-1] FIG. 20 shows an example of the user list data D101. The user list data D101 is data indicating a list of users who use the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 20, the user list data D101 includes “user ID”, “user name”, and “war record” fields. The “user ID” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying each user. The “user name” field indicates the name of the user. The “war result” field indicates the user's war record. The user list data D101 may include a field indicating other information related to the user.

  [3-1-1-2] FIG. 21 shows an example of the card list data D102. The card list data D102 is data indicating a list of all cards provided in the card game. As shown in FIG. 21, the card list data D102 includes fields as described below.

  The “card number” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying a card provided in a card game. For example, the card number N24 shown in FIG. 4 is registered in the “card number” field. The “card name” field indicates the name of the card. The “card type” field indicates the card type. In the case of the above-mentioned card game, any of a normal monster card, an effect monster card, a link monster card, a pendulum monster card, an Xyz monster card, a synchronized monster card, a fusion monster card, or a ritual monster card, a magic card, and a spear card Is registered in the “card type” field. One card may correspond to a plurality of the above card types. For example, there is a monster card which is a fusion monster card and also an effect monster card.

  The “summoning condition”, “level”, “attribute”, “race”, “attack power”, “defense power”, and “monster information” fields indicate information related to the monster card. For monster cards, information is registered in these fields, but for magic cards or spear cards, no information is registered in these fields.

  The “summoning condition” field indicates a condition for placing a monster card in the game field. The “level”, “attribute”, and “race” fields indicate the level, attribute, and race of the monster card. As for the Xyz Monster Card, the rank is registered in the “Level” field instead of the level. The “attack power” and “defense power” fields indicate the attack power and defense power of the monster card. As for the link monster card, the value of LINK is registered in the “defense ability” field instead of the defense ability. The “monster information” field shows detailed information of the monster card. For example, the effect of the monster card, the conditions that must be satisfied to exhibit the effect, and other information of the monster card are registered in the “monster information” field. For the linked monster card, information indicating the direction indicated by the link marker 31 is registered in the “monster information” field.

  The “magic type” and “magic information” fields indicate information related to the magic card. Information is registered in these fields for magic cards, but information is not registered in these fields for monster cards or spear cards.

  The “magic type” field indicates the type of magic card. In the case of the card game described above, information indicating whether it is normal magic, ritual magic, permanent magic, equipment magic, field magic, or haste magic is registered in the “magic type” field. The “magic information” field indicates detailed information of the magic card. For example, information such as the effect of the magic card and the activation condition of the effect is registered in the “magic information” field. For the Pendulum Monster Card, information such as the Pendulum Effect and Pendulum Scale is registered in the “Magic Information” field.

  The “罠 type” and “罠 information” fields indicate information about the 罠 card. Information is registered in these fields for spear cards, but information is not registered in these fields for monster cards or magic cards.

  The “罠 type” field indicates the type of the 罠 card. In the case of the above-mentioned card game, information indicating whether it is a normal bag, a permanent bag, or a counter bag is registered in the “Kind Type” field. The “罠 information” field indicates detailed information of the 罠 card. For example, information such as the effect of the samurai card and the activation condition of the effect is registered in the “samurai information” field.

  [3-1-1-3] FIG. 22 shows an example of possessed card list data D103. The owned card list data D103 is stored for each user (stored in association with the user ID of each user), and indicates a list of cards owned by each user. For example, each user can obtain a card by performing lottery in exchange for virtual currency (in-game currency) or points, or can obtain a card from another user by exchange or the like. In addition, the acquisition method of a card | curd is not restricted to these, A various method is employable. As shown in FIG. 22, the possessed card list data D103 includes “serial number” and “card number” fields. The “serial number” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying each card owned by the user. The “card number” field indicates the card number of the card owned by the user. When the user owns a plurality of the same cards, the card numbers of these same cards are the same, but the serial numbers are different.

  [3-1-1-4] FIG. 23 shows an example of the deck data D104. The deck data D104 is stored for each user (stored in association with the user ID of each user), and indicates a list of cards included in the deck constructed by each user. That is, a list of serial numbers of cards incorporated in the deck among the cards owned by the user is registered in the deck data D104.

  [3-1-1-5] FIG. 24 shows an example of the extra deck data D105. The extra deck data D105 is stored for each user (stored in association with the user ID of each user), and indicates a list of cards included in the extra deck constructed by the user. That is, a list of serial numbers of cards incorporated in the extra deck among the cards owned by the user is registered in the extra deck data D105.

  The game field data D106 is data that defines each area set in the game field. For example, in the example of the card game described above, data indicating the duel field F shown in FIG. 3 is stored as the game field data D106. That is, the first user duel field F1 (main monster zone Z2A to Z2E, magic and trap zone Z3A to Z3E, graveyard Z4A, main deck zone Z5A, field zone Z6A, extra deck zone Z7A) and second user duel field F2 ( The game field data D106 is data that defines the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J, the magic and trap zones Z3F to Z3J, the graveyard Z4B, the main deck zone Z5B, the field zone Z6B, the extra deck zone Z7B) and the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. Is remembered as In addition, when the excluded area zone for arranging the card excluded from the game is included in the duel field F, the data defining the excluded area zone is also included in the game field data D106.

The game situation data D107 is data indicating the current situation of the card game (match). In the case of the card game described above, the game situation data D107 includes the following data.
(1) Data indicating the turn number of the current turn (2) Data indicating whether the current turn is the first user or the second user (3) First user and second user (4) 1st user duel field F1 (main monster zone Z2A to Z2E, magic and trap zone Z3A to Z3E, graveyard Z4A, main deck zone Z5A, field zone Z6A, extra deck Data indicating current state of zone Z7A) (5) Second user duel field F2 (main monster zone Z2F to Z2J, magic and trap zone Z3F to Z3J, graveyard Z4B, main deck zone Z5B, field zone Z6B, extra deck zone Z7B ) Data showing the current state of (6) Extramons Zon Z1A, data indicating the current state of Z1B

  The data of (4) to (6) includes data indicating whether or not a card is arranged in each zone, data indicating a serial number of a card arranged in each zone, and a card arranged in each zone. Data indicating the arrangement format (front side display or back side display, attack display or defense display, etc.).

  In addition to the data described above, for example, image data of each card, battle history data of each user, and the like are stored in the data storage unit 100.

  [3-1-2] The first user area setting unit 110 sets the first user area in the game field. For example, the first user area setting unit 110 sets a plurality of first user areas.

  The second user area setting unit 120 sets the second user area in the game field. For example, the second user area setting unit 120 sets a plurality of second user areas.

  The shared area setting unit 130 sets a shared area in the game field separately from the first user area and the second user area. The shared area setting unit sets a smaller number of shared areas than the number of first user areas or second user areas. For example, the shared area setting unit 130 sets a first shared area and a second shared area.

  The first user area setting unit 110 and the second user area setting unit 120 set the first user area and the second user area so as to face each other. The shared area setting unit 130 sets a shared area between the first user area and the second user area.

  Here, the “game field” is a virtual field for playing a game using cards. That is, the “game field” is a virtual field in which cards of the first user and the second user are arranged. In the example of the card game described above, the duel field F corresponds to an example of “game field”.

  A “card” is a virtual game object corresponding to a card. For example, a “card” is a virtual game object corresponding to a card in a trading card game. Various information of the card is associated with each card. For example, performance information indicating the performance of the card is associated with each card. Specifically, strength information indicating the strength (level, attack power, defensive power, etc.) of the card, effect information indicating the effect the card has (for example, monster effect, magic effect, spear effect, etc.), or Condition information indicating conditions to be satisfied in order to place a card in the game field is associated with each card as “performance information”. Note that the scarcity information indicating the scarcity of the card may be associated with each card.

  The “first user area” is a dedicated area for the first user and is an area for placing the card of the first user. Specifically, the “first user area” is an area for arranging the first type card of the first user, and is an area where the arrangement of the second type card of the first user is restricted. Each area (zone, square, block, or the like) for placing the card of the first user corresponds to the “first user area”. The second user's card is not placed in the “first user area”. In the example of the card game described above, each of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E in the first user duel field F1 corresponds to an example of “first user area”.

  The “second user area” is a dedicated area for the second user and is an area for placing the card of the second user. Specifically, the “second user area” is an area for arranging the first type card of the second user, and is an area where the arrangement of the second type card of the second user is restricted. Each area (zone, square, block, or the like) for placing the second user's card corresponds to a “second user area”. The card of the first user is not arranged in the “second user area”. In the example of the card game described above, each of the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J in the second user duel field F2 corresponds to an example of a “second user area”.

  The “first type card” is a card that can be placed in the first user area or the second user area and cannot be placed in the shared area. In the example of the card game described above, the monster cards in the hands C1 and C2 of the first user and the second user correspond to an example of “first type card”.

  The “second type card” is a card that can be placed in a shared area and is restricted from being placed in the first user area or the second user area. For example, the “second type card” is a card that is more useful than the first type card. The “card having higher utility than the first type card” is, for example, a card having higher performance than the first type card (that is, a card associated with performance information indicating higher performance than the first type card). It is. In the example of the card game described above, the extra monster cards on the extra deck zones Z7A and Z7B correspond to an example of “second type card”. As described above, when the pendulum monster is destroyed after the pendrum monster card is summoned by placing the pendulum monster card from the hand C1 or C2 in the main monster zone Z2, the pendulum monster card is in the extra deck zone Z7. Sent to and placed face up. In this case, the pendulum monster card arranged in the extra deck zone Z7 can be arranged in the extra monster zone Z1, but cannot be arranged in the main monster zone Z2. For this reason, the Pendulum Monster Card is equivalent to an example of “First Class Card” when it is in the hand C1, C2, and is an example of “Second Class Card” when it is on the extra deck zone Z7. It will be equivalent.

  The “shared area” is an area shared by the first user and the second user. In other words, the “shared area” is an area in which a card for the first user can be placed and a card for the second user can also be placed. In the example of the card game described above, each of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B corresponds to an example of a “shared area”. For example, the extra monster zone Z1A corresponds to an example of “first shared area”, and the extra monster zone Z1B corresponds to an example of “second shared area”.

  “Setting a shared area separately from the first user area and the second area” means setting an area different from the first user area and the second user area as the shared area.

  “Setting a shared area between the first user area and the second user area” means that the shared area is set so that the first user area and the second user area face each other across the shared area. is there.

  In the example of the card game described above, the first user area setting unit 110 sets the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E in the duel field F. The second user area setting unit 120 sets the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J in the duel field F. The common area setting unit 130 sets the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B in the duel field F.

  [3-1-3] The first arrangement control unit 140 receives the arrangement of the first type card of the first user in the first user area, and arranges the second type card of the first user in the first user area. Limit.

  The second arrangement control unit 150 accepts the arrangement of the second user's first type card in the second user area, and restricts the arrangement of the second user's second type card in the second arrangement area.

  The 3rd arrangement control part 160 receives arrangement of the 2nd type card of the 1st user or the 2nd user to a common area.

  Here, “accepting the arrangement of the card in the area” means that the card is arranged in the area in accordance with the user's arrangement instruction. That is, the card specified by the user is placed. Alternatively, a card designated by the user may be arranged in an area designated by the user.

  Further, “restricting the placement of cards in a region” means prohibiting the placement of cards in the region. In principle, the card may be prohibited from being placed in the area, and the card may be allowed to be placed in the area only when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In addition, when the second type card of the first user is arranged in one of the first shared area and the second shared area, the third arrangement control unit 160 is the other of the first shared area and the second shared area. The arrangement of the second type card of the first user is restricted.

  Here, “when the second type card of the first user is arranged in one of the first shared area and the second shared area, the first user's second card is transferred to the other of the first shared area and the second shared area. “Restrict placement of second type card” means that when the second type card of the first user is placed in the first shared area (or the second shared area), the second type card of the first user is It is prohibited to place in the second shared area (or the first shared area) and allow the second user's second type card to be placed in the second shared area (or the first shared area). When the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first shared area (or the second shared area), in principle, the second type card of the first user is transferred to the second shared area (or the first shared area). Only when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the prohibition is canceled and the second type card of the first user is set as the second shared area (or the first shared area). Arrangement may also be allowed.

  Similarly, when the second type card of the second user is arranged in one of the first shared area and the second shared area, the third arrangement control unit 160 determines whether the first shared area and the second shared area are Restrict the placement of the second type card of the second user to the other side.

  Here, “when the second user's second type card is arranged in one of the first shared area and the second shared area, the second user's second card to the other of the first shared area and the second shared area “Restrict the placement of the second type card” means that when the second type card of the second user is placed in the first shared area (or the second shared area), the second type card of the second user is 2 is prohibited from being placed in the shared area (or the first shared area), and the second type card of the first user is allowed to be placed in the second shared area (or the first shared area). In addition, when the second type card of the second user is arranged in the first shared area (or the second shared area), the second type card of the second user is in principle the second shared area (or the first shared area). And the second type card of the second user is made the second shared area (or the first shared area) only when a predetermined condition is satisfied and the prohibition is canceled. Arrangement may also be allowed.

  In the example of the card game described above, the first arrangement control unit 140 uses the monster card (an example of the first type card) in the hand C1 of the first user as the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E (an example of the first user area). Accept to place. Further, the first arrangement control unit 140 restricts the arrangement of an extra monster card (an example of a second type card) on the extra deck zone Z7A in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E (an example of a first user area). .

  The 2nd arrangement control part 150 receives arranging a monster card (an example of the 1st kind card) in hand C2 of the 2nd user in main monster zones Z2F-Z2J (an example of the 2nd user field). Further, the second arrangement control unit 150 restricts the arrangement of the extra monster cards (an example of the second type card) on the extra deck zone Z7B in the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J (an example of the second user area). .

  The third arrangement control unit 160 accepts that the extra monster card (an example of the second type card) on the extra deck zone Z7A is arranged in the extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B (an example of the common area). In addition, the third arrangement control unit 160 accepts that an extra monster card (an example of a second type card) on the extra deck zone Z7B is arranged in the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B (an example of a shared area).

  In addition, when the first user's extra monster card is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A, the third placement control unit 160, as a general rule, prohibits placing the first user's extra monster card in the extra monster zone Z1B. Only when a predetermined condition is satisfied (see FIG. 9), the first user's extra monster card is accepted to be placed in the extra monster zone Z1B.

  Similarly, when the second user's extra monster card is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A, the third placement control unit 160 is prohibited from placing the second user's extra monster card in the extra monster zone Z1B in principle. However, it is accepted that the second user's extra monster card is placed in the extra monster zone Z1B only when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  [3-1-4] The game process execution unit 170 executes a game process based on cards arranged in the first user area, the second user area, or the shared area.

  Here, “execute a game process” means to execute a game process of a card game. For example, the performance indicated by the performance information associated with the arranged card is exhibited. Specifically, for example, the effect indicated by the effect information associated with the arranged card is exhibited. Moreover, based on the strength information (attack power or defensive power etc.) linked | related with the card | curd arrange | positioned, you may be performing the attack to the other from the 1st user and the 2nd user. Here, for example, the “attack from the first user to the second user” may be an attack on the card arranged by the second user, or an attack on the second user himself (the second user himself or herself). It is also possible to reduce the number of characters of the second user. The same applies to “attack from the second user to the first user”.

  In the above-described example of the card game, for example, the game process execution unit 170 determines the main monster zone from the monster card of the first user arranged in any of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E based on an instruction from the first user. The attack process to the 2nd user's monster card | curd arrange | positioned at Z2F-Z2J etc. is performed. Or the game process execution part 170 performs the process which exhibits the effect of the magic card | curd | card or trap card | curd arrange | positioned in any one of magic / trap zone Z3A-Z3E based on the instruction | indication from a 1st user. Or the game process execution part 170 is arrange | positioned from the 1st user's extra monster card | curd arrange | positioned to either of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B to main monster zone Z2F-Z2J etc. based on the instruction | indication from a 1st user. The second user's monster card attack process is executed.

  In addition, for example, the game process execution unit 170, based on an instruction from the second user, from the monster card arranged in any of the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J to the first monster zone Z2A to Z2E etc. Execute the attack process for the monster card. Or the game process execution part 170 performs the process which exhibits the effect of the magic card | curd | card or trap card | curd arrange | positioned in any of magic and trap zone Z3F-Z3J based on the instruction | indication from a 2nd user. Or the game process execution part 170 is arrange | positioned from the 2nd user's extra monster card | curd arrange | positioned in either of the extra monster zone Z1A, Z1B to main monster zone Z2A-Z2E etc. based on the instruction | indication from a 2nd user. The attack process for the first user's monster card is executed.

  [3-2] Next, the second configuration will be described. FIG. 25 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks related to the second configuration. As shown in FIG. 25, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100, a first region setting unit 110A, a second region setting unit 120A, a third region setting unit 130A, and a first arrangement as functional blocks related to the second configuration. It includes a control unit 140A, a second arrangement control unit 150A, a third arrangement control unit 160A, and a game process execution unit 170A.

  For example, the data storage unit 100 is realized by at least one of the storage unit 12, the database DB, and the storage unit 32, and the other functional blocks are realized by at least one of the control unit 11 and the control unit 32. . Instead of the storage unit 12 (or together with the storage unit 12), a storage unit of another device accessible from the game terminal 10 may be used. The data storage unit 100 is the same as that of the first configuration (FIG. 19), and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  [3-2-1] The first area setting unit 110A sets a plurality of first areas in the game field. The second area setting unit 120A sets the second area in the game field.

  The first region setting unit 110A and the second region setting unit 120A set a plurality of first regions and second regions such that the first regions are positioned in at least three directions when viewed from the second region. .

  Here, since “game field” and “card” are the same as those in the first configuration, the description thereof is omitted here.

  The “first area” is an area in which the arrangement of the first type card of the first user is possible, and is an area in which the arrangement of the second type card of the first user is restricted. This is a dedicated area for the first user, and the second user's card is not placed in the first area. Each area (zone, square, block, or the like) for placing the first user's card corresponds to the “first area”. In the example of the card game described above, each of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E in the first user duel field F1 corresponds to an example of “first region”.

  The “second area” is an area in which the first user can place the second type card. This is an area where the arrangement of the first type card of the first user is restricted. The “second area” may be a shared area for the first user and the second user, or may be a dedicated area for the first user. That is, the “second area” may be an area where the second type card of the first user can be placed, an area where the second type card of the second user can be placed, It may be an area where only the second type card of one user can be placed. In the example of the card game described above, each of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B corresponds to an example of a “second area”.

  “Setting a plurality of first regions and second regions so that the first regions are positioned in at least three directions as viewed from the second region” means, for example, that the plurality of first regions are It is set so that the first area is located below the lower area, the lower left area, and the lower right area of the second area. Alternatively, the plurality of first areas may be set such that the first areas are located above the second area, at the upper left, upper, and upper right of the second area, respectively. Alternatively, the plurality of first areas may be set such that the first area is located on the left side of the second area, on the upper left, the left, and the lower left of the second area. Alternatively, the plurality of first areas may be set so that the first area is located on the right side of the second area, on the upper right side, on the right side, and on the lower right side of the second area.

  In the example of the card game described above, as shown in FIG. 3, the main monster zones Z2A, Z2B, Z2C (example of the first area) are respectively shown in the lower left, lower, and lower right of the extra monster zone Z1A (example of the second area). ) Is located. Similarly, main monster zones Z2C, Z2D, and Z2E (an example of the first area) are located at the lower left, lower, and lower right of the extra monster zone Z1B (an example of the second area), respectively.

  The “first user's first type card” is a card of the first user that can be placed in the first area and is restricted from being placed in the second area. In the example of the card game described above, the monster card in the first user's hand C1 corresponds to an example of the “first user first type card”.

  The “second type card of the first user” is a card of the first user that can be placed in the second area and is restricted from being placed in the first area. In the example of the card game described above, the first user's extra monster card on the extra deck zone Z7A corresponds to an example of the “second type card”. As described above, when a pendulum monster is destroyed after the pendulum monster is summoned by placing the pendulum monster card from the hand C1 in any of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, the pendulum monster card is extra. Sent to deck zone Z7A and placed face up. In this case, the Pendulum Monster Card placed in the Extra Deck Zone Z7A can be placed in the Extra Monster Zones Z1A and Z1B, but cannot be placed in the Main Monster Zone Z2A to Z2E or the Magic / Trap Zone Z3A to Z3E. . For this reason, regarding the Pendulum Monster card, when it is in the hand C1, it corresponds to an example of “first type card”, and when it is on the extra deck zone Z7A, it corresponds to an example of “second type card”. It will be.

  [3-2-2] The third area setting unit 130A sets a plurality of third areas in the game field. In addition, the third area setting unit 130A and the second area setting unit 120A are configured so that the third area is positioned in at least three directions when viewed from the second area, and the plurality of third areas and the second areas are arranged. Set.

  Here, the “third area” is an area where the second user's first type card can be arranged, and is an area where the arrangement of the second user's second type card is restricted. This is a dedicated area for the second user, and the first user's card is not placed in the third area. Each area (zone, square, block, or the like) for placing the second user's card corresponds to a “third area”. In the example of the card game described above, each of the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J in the second user duel field F2 corresponds to an example of a “third region”.

  The “first user card of the second user” is a card of the first user that can be placed in the third area and is restricted from being placed in the second area. In the example of the card game described above, the monster card in the second user's hand C2 corresponds to an example of the “second user first type card”.

  The “second user's second type card” is a card of the second user that can be placed in the second area and is restricted from being placed in the third area. In the example of the card game described above, the extra monster card of the second user on the extra deck zone Z7B corresponds to an example of the “second type card”.

  Note that “setting a plurality of third regions and second regions so that the third regions are positioned in at least three directions as viewed from the second region” means “at least as viewed from the second region” This is the same as “setting a plurality of first regions and second regions so that the first regions are positioned in three directions”. In the example of the card game described above, the main monster zones Z2F, Z2G, Z2H (an example of the third area) are located at the upper left, upper, and upper right of the extra monster zone Z1A (an example of the second area), respectively. Similarly, main monster zones Z2H, Z2I, and Z2J (an example of the third area) are located at the upper left, upper, and upper right of the extra monster zone Z1B (an example of the second area), respectively.

  [3-2-3] The first arrangement control unit 140A accepts the arrangement of the first type card of the first user in the first area, and restricts the arrangement of the second type card of the first user in the first area. To do.

  160A of 3rd arrangement | positioning parts accept | permit arrangement | positioning of the 1st type card of the 2nd user to a 3rd area | region, and restrict | limit the arrangement | positioning of the 2nd type card of a 2nd user to a 3rd area | region.

  The second arrangement control unit 150A accepts the arrangement of the first type card of the first user in the second area, and restricts the arrangement of the first type card of the first user in the second area. Further, the second arrangement control unit 150A accepts the arrangement of the second user's second type card in the second area, and restricts the arrangement of the second user's first type card in the second area.

  Here, “accepting the placement of cards in the area” and “restricting the placement of cards in the area” are the same as in the first configuration, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  In the example of the card game described above, the first placement control unit 140A uses the monster card in the first user's hand C1 (an example of the first user's first type card) as the main monster zone in the first user duel field F1. Arrangement in Z2A to Z2E (an example of the first region) is accepted.

  In addition, the third placement control unit 160A uses the monster card in the second user's hand C2 (an example of the first type card of the second user) as the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J (third in the second user duel field F2). It is accepted to arrange in an example of a region.

  In addition, the second arrangement control unit 150A is configured so that the first user's extra monster card (an example of the first user's second type card) on the extra deck zone Z7A or the second user's extra monster card on the extra deck zone Z7B. It is accepted that an extra monster card (an example of the second user's second type card) is placed in the extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B (an example of the second area).

  [3-2-4] In particular, the first arrangement control unit 140, when the second type card of the first user is arranged in the second area, of the second type card of the plurality of first areas. The first area specified based on the parameter is set as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card of the first user.

  Here, the “parameter of the second type card” is information associated with the second type card, and is used as a basis for specifying the first area for receiving the arrangement of the second type card. . For example, the “second type card parameter” includes a direction parameter indicating one or a plurality of directions. Here, the “direction parameter” is information indicating one or a plurality of directions among, for example, eight directions (or four directions). The parameters (direction parameters, etc.) used as the basis for specifying the first area for accepting the placement of the second type card may be associated with some second type cards, or all the second type cards. May be associated. For example, when the parameter used as the basis is a direction parameter, among the second type cards, there may be a second type card that is not associated with a direction parameter, or may not exist. .

  The “first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card” means, for example, a second area where the second type card is arranged from a plurality of first areas, and the second type card. It is the 1st field specified based on a parameter. Specifically, for example, the first area is selected from the first areas adjacent to the second area where the second type card is arranged based on the parameters of the second type card. For example, it is the first area corresponding to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card among the plurality of first areas. Here, “the first area corresponding to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card” refers to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card as viewed from the second area where the second type card is arranged. It is the 1st field which is located. Specifically, for example, among the first areas adjacent to the second area where the second type card is arranged, the second area is located in the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card as viewed from the second area. This is the first area.

  “Set as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card of the first user” is to set the state in which the arrangement of the second type card of the first user in the specified first area is allowed.

  “When the second type card is arranged in the second area, the first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card is set as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card of the first user. "", For example, in the turn of the first user in which the second type card is placed in the second area, the second type of the first user in the first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card. It is to allow placing cards. Alternatively, only the first user's turn where the second type card is placed in the second area is limited to the first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card. It may be allowed to place a card. Alternatively, in the turn of the first user in which the second type card is placed in the second area, the user's second type card is placed in the first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card. It is also possible to restrict the first user's second type card to be placed in the first area in the subsequent first user's turn. If the second type card arranged in the second area is removed by an attack or the like, the arrangement of the second type card of the first user in the first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card is changed. You may make it restrict | limit without accepting.

  Furthermore, the first arrangement control unit 140A is specified based on the parameters of the second type card among the plurality of first areas when the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first area. The first area is set as an area for receiving the arrangement of the second type card of the first user.

  Here, the “first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card” means, for example, the first area where the second type card is arranged from the plurality of first areas, and the second area. This is the first area specified based on the parameters of the seed card. Specifically, for example, the first area is selected based on the parameters of the second type card from other first areas adjacent to the first area where the second type card is arranged. For example, it is the first area corresponding to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card among the plurality of first areas. Here, “the first area corresponding to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card” refers to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card as viewed from the first area where the second type card is arranged. It is the other 1st field which is located. Specifically, for example, among other first areas adjacent to the first area where the second type card is arranged, the direction of the second type card as seen from the first area where the second type card is arranged It is another 1st field located in the direction which a parameter shows.

  “When the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first area, the first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card among the plurality of first areas is designated as the first user. "Set as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card" is, for example, the parameter of the second type card in the turn of the first user where the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first area. The second type card of the first user is allowed to be placed in another first area specified based on the above. Alternatively, only the first user's turn in which the first user's second type card is placed in the first area is limited to the other first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card. It may be allowed to place the second type card of one user. Alternatively, in the turn of the first user in which the first user's second type card is placed in the first area, the first user's turn is specified as another first area specified based on the parameters of the second type card. Arranging the second type card of the user without allowing it, and arranging the second type card of the first user in the other first area specified above in the subsequent first user turn. It may be to allow. Moreover, if the second type card of the first user arranged in the first area is removed by an attack or the like, the arrangement of the second type card of the first user in the other specified first area is not accepted. You may make it restrict | limit.

  In the example of the card game described above, when the first user's link monster card (an example of the second type card), which is a kind of extra monster card, is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A, Z1B (an example of the second area). The first placement control unit 140A selects the main monster zone in the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card from the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E (an example of a plurality of first areas). Set a zone where extra monster cards can be placed. Furthermore, when the link monster card of the first user is arranged in the main monster zone where the first user's extra monster card can be arranged, the first arrangement control unit 140A displays the link marker of the link monster card. The main monster zone in the direction indicated by M31 is also set to a zone where the first user's extra monster card can be placed.

  For example, the link marker M31 of the link monster card (decode talker) shown in FIG. 6 points to the lower left, lower right, and upper direction. When this linked monster card is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A by the first user, the first user's extra monster card can be placed in the main monster zones Z2A, Z2C at the lower left and lower right of the extra monster zone Z1A become. In this state, when the link monster card (honey bot) shown in FIG. 7 is placed in the main monster zone Z2C by the first user, the link marker M31 of the link monster card points to the left and right directions. Therefore, the first user's extra monster card can be placed in the main monster zones Z2B and Z2D on the left and right of the main monster zone Z2C.

  The third arrangement control unit 160A may have the same function as the first arrangement control unit 140A described here. For example, when the second user's link monster card (an example of the second type card) is arranged in the extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B (an example of the second area), the third arrangement control unit 160A The main monster zone in the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card in the Z2J (an example of a plurality of third areas) is set as a zone where the second user's extra monster card can be placed. May be. Further, when the second user's link monster card is arranged in the main monster zone where the second user's extra monster card can be arranged, the third arrangement control unit 160A displays the link marker of the link monster card. The main monster zone in the direction indicated by M31 may be set as a zone in which the second user's extra monster card can be placed.

  [3-2-5] Also, the third placement control unit 160A, when the second type card of the first user is placed in the second region, the second type card of the plurality of third regions. The third area specified based on the parameters may be set as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card of the second user.

  Here, the “third area specified based on the parameters of the second type card” means, for example, the second area where the second type card is arranged from the plurality of third areas, and the second area. It is the 3rd field specified based on the parameter of a seed card. Specifically, for example, the third area is selected from the third areas adjacent to the second area where the second type card is arranged based on the parameters of the second type card. For example, it is the third area corresponding to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card among the plurality of third areas. Here, “the third area corresponding to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card” refers to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card as viewed from the second area where the second type card is arranged. It is the 3rd field located. Specifically, for example, among the third areas adjacent to the second area where the second type card is arranged, the direction parameter of the second type card is viewed from the second area where the second type card is arranged. It is the 3rd field located in the direction shown.

  “When the second type card of the first user is arranged in the second area, the third area specified based on the parameters of the second type card among the plurality of third areas is designated as the second user. "Set as an area for accepting the placement of the second type card" is, for example, a parameter of the second type card in the turn of the second user where the second type card of the first user is placed in the second area. Is to allow the second type card of the second user to be placed in the third area specified based on the above. Alternatively, it is specified based on the parameters of the second type card only for the second user's turn immediately after the first user's turn where the first user's second type card is placed in the second area. It may be allowed to place the second type card of the second user in the third area. In addition, if the second type card of the first user arranged in the second area is removed by an attack or the like, the arrangement of the second type card of the second user in the third area is limited without being accepted. Also good.

  In the example of the card game described above, when the first user's linked monster card (an example of the second type card) is arranged in the extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B (an example of the second area), the third arrangement control unit 160A. The second user's extra monster card is placed in the main monster zone in the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card among the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J (an example of a plurality of third areas). Set to a zone that can

  For example, the link marker M31 of the link monster card (decode talker) shown in FIG. 6 points to the lower left, lower right, and upper direction. When this linked monster card is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A by the first user, the extra monster card of the second user can be placed in the main monster zone Z2G above the extra monster zone Z1A. Further, in this state, when the link monster card (honey bot) shown in FIG. 7 is placed in the main monster zone Z2G by the second user, the link marker M31 of the link monster card points to the left and right directions. Therefore, the second user's extra monster card can be placed in the main monster zones Z2F and Z2H on the left and right of the main monster zone Z2G.

  Note that the first arrangement control unit 140A may have the same function as the third arrangement control unit 160A described here. For example, when the second user's link monster card (an example of the second type card) is arranged in the extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B (an example of the second area), the first arrangement control unit 140A is configured to display the main monster zone Z2A. The main monster zone in the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card in the Z2E (an example of a plurality of first areas) is set as a zone where the first user's extra monster card can be placed. May be.

  [3-2-6] The second area setting unit 120A may set the first shared area and the second shared area as the second area. Further, the second placement control unit 150A may accept the placement of the second type card of the first user or the second user in the first shared area or the second shared area. When the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first shared area, the second arrangement control unit 150A restricts the arrangement of the second type card of the first user in the second shared area. You may do it.

  In addition, even when the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first shared area, the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first area, and When the second shared area corresponds to the area specified based on the parameter, the second arrangement control unit 150A uses the second shared area as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card of the first user. You may make it set.

  Here, the “shared area” is an area shared by the first user and the second user, and it is possible to place the second type card of the first user, and the second type of the second user. It is also an area where cards can be placed. In the example of the card game described above, each of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B corresponds to an example of a “shared area”. For example, the extra monster zone Z1A corresponds to an example of “first shared area”, and the extra monster zone Z1B corresponds to an example of “second shared area”.

  “When the second user's second type card is placed in the first area and the second shared area corresponds to the area specified based on the parameters of the second type card” This is a case where the user's second type card is arranged in the first area and the second shared area corresponds to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card. “When the second shared area corresponds to the direction indicated by the direction parameter of the second type card” refers to, for example, the second type as viewed from the first area where the second type card of the first user is arranged. This is a case where the second shared area is located in the direction indicated by the card direction parameter. Specifically, for example, the second shared area is adjacent to the first area where the second type card of the first user is arranged, and the direction parameter of the second type card indicates from the first area. This is a case where the second shared area is located in the direction.

  “Set as an area for accepting the arrangement of the second type card of the first user” is to allow the arrangement of the second type card of the first user in the second shared area. In addition, in the turn of the first user in which the second type card of the first user is arranged in the first area, the second type card of the first user may be allowed to be arranged in the second common area. The first user's second type card is allowed to be placed in the second common area only during the turn of the first user where the first user's second type card has been placed in the first area. Also good. Alternatively, in the turn of the first user in which the first user's second type card is placed in the first area, the first user's second type card is not accepted in the second shared area. The first user's turn of the first user may be allowed to place the second type card of the first user in the second shared area. In addition, when the second type card of the first user placed in the first area is removed by an attack or the like, the placement of the second type card of the first user in the second shared area is not accepted and limited. Also good.

  In the example of the card game described above, for example, when the first user's link monster card (an example of the second type card), which is a kind of extra monster card, is placed in the extra monster zone Z1A (an example of the first shared area). In addition, the second placement control unit 150A basically prohibits the first user's extra monster card from being placed in the extra monster zone Z1B (an example of the second shared area).

  However, when the extra link as in the example shown in FIG. 9 is completed (that is, arranged on the path from the extra monster zone Z1A to the extra monster zone Z1B via at least one of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2F). In the case where the link markers M31 of adjacent link monster cards are pointing to each other for all of the first user's link monster cards, the second placement control unit 150A is exceptionally the first user's link monster card. It is allowed to place an extra monster card in the extra monster zone Z1B.

  [3-2-7] The game process execution unit 170A executes the game process based on the cards arranged in the first area or the second area. Note that “execute game processing” is the same as that in the first configuration, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  In the above-described example of the card game, the game process execution unit 170A performs the main monster zone Z2F to the main monster zone Z2A to Z2E from the first user monster card arranged in any of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E based on an instruction from the first user. The attack process to the monster card of the 2nd user arrange | positioned at Z2J etc. is performed. Alternatively, the game process execution unit 170A is arranged in the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J and the like from the extra monster card of the first user arranged in either of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B based on an instruction from the first user. The second user's monster card attack process is executed.

  In addition, for example, the game process execution unit 170A is configured such that the first user arranged in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E or the like from the monster card arranged in any of the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J based on an instruction from the second user. Execute the attack process for the monster card. Alternatively, the game process execution unit 170A is arranged in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E or the like from the extra monster card of the second user arranged in either of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B based on an instruction from the second user. The attack process for the first user's monster card is executed.

  [3-3] Next, the third configuration will be described. FIG. 26 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks related to the third configuration. As shown in FIG. 26, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100, an area setting unit 110B, a first arrangement control unit 140B, a second arrangement control unit 150B, and a third arrangement control unit as functional blocks related to the third configuration. 160B and game process execution part 170B.

  For example, the data storage unit 100 is realized by at least one of the storage unit 12, the database DB, and the storage unit 32, and the other functional blocks are realized by at least one of the control unit 11 and the control unit 32. . Instead of the storage unit 12 (or together with the storage unit 12), a storage unit of another device accessible from the game terminal 10 may be used. The data storage unit 100 is the same as that of the first configuration (FIG. 19), and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  [3-3-1] The area setting unit 110B sets the first area and the second area in the game field. For example, the area setting unit 110B sets a plurality of second areas arranged in a predetermined direction in the game field.

  The first arrangement control unit 140B accepts the arrangement of the user's first type card in the first area and restricts the arrangement of the user's second type card in the first area. On the other hand, the second arrangement control unit 150B accepts the arrangement of the user's second type card in the second area, and restricts the arrangement of the user's first type card in the second area.

  Here, “game field”, “card”, “accepting the placement of cards in the area”, and “restricting the placement of cards in the area” are the same as in the first configuration. Description is omitted.

  The “first area” is an area mainly for arranging the user's first type card, and is an area where the arrangement of the user's second type card is restricted. Each area (zone, square, block, or the like) for placing the first type card of the user corresponds to the “first area”. In the example of the card game described above, each of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E corresponds to an example of “first region”.

  The “second area” is an area for mainly placing the user's second type card, and is an area where the arrangement of the user's first type card is restricted. Each area (zone, square, block, or the like) for placing the user's second type card corresponds to a “second area”. In the example of the card game described above, each of the magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E corresponds to an example of “second region”.

  The “first type card” is a specific type of card. For example, the “first type card” is a type of card that can be placed in the first area and is restricted from being placed in the second area. In the example of the card game described above, a type of card that can be placed in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, that is, a monster card other than the extra monster card corresponds to an example of the “first type card”.

  The “second type card” is a specific type of card, which is a different type of card from the first type card. For example, the “second type card” is a type of card that can be placed in the second area and is restricted from being placed in the first area. In the example of the card game described above, the types of cards that can be placed in the magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E, that is, magic cards or trap cards, correspond to an example of “second type card”.

  Here, the “predetermined direction” is, for example, the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. “Setting a plurality of second regions arranged in a predetermined direction” means setting a plurality of second regions so as to be arranged on a straight line extending in a predetermined direction.

  In the example of the card game described above, the first arrangement control unit 140B is a monster card of the first user other than the extra monster card to the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E (an example of the first area) (an example of the first type card). The arrangement of the first user's magic card or trap card (an example of the second type card) in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E is restricted. Further, the second arrangement control unit 150B accepts the arrangement of the first user's magic card or trap card (an example of the second type card) in the magic / trap zone Z3A to Z3E (an example of the second area) Arrangement of the monster card of the first user (an example of the first type card) other than the extra monster card in the trap zones Z3A to Z3E (an example of the second area) is restricted.

  [3-3-2] The third arrangement control unit 160B receives the arrangement of the user's third type card in the first area or the second area. For example, the third placement control unit 160B receives the placement of the third type card in the two second regions at both ends of the plurality of second regions arranged in the predetermined direction, and receives the other second Restrict the placement of type 3 cards in the area.

  Here, the “third type card” is a specific type of card, and is a different type of card from each of the first type card and the second type card. For example, it is a card that has the properties of both a first type card and a second type card, can be used as a first type card, and can also be used as a second type card. For example, the first performance information related to the first performance and the second performance information related to the second performance are associated with the “third type card”. “Performance” is, for example, the strength of the card (level, attack power, defense strength, etc.) or the effect of the card. The “first performance” is the performance when the third type card is placed in the first area. In other words, the “first performance” is the performance when the third type card is used as the first type card. That is, the “first performance” is the performance as the first type card. The “second performance” is the performance when the third type card is placed in the second area. In other words, the “second performance” is the performance when the third type card is used as the second type card. That is, the “second performance” is the performance as the second type card.

  In the example of the card game described above, the pendulum monster card in the hand C1 of the first user corresponds to an example of a “third type card”. As described above, when a pendulum monster is destroyed after the pendulum monster is summoned by placing the pendulum monster card from the hand C1 in any of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, the pendulum monster card is extra. Sent to deck zone Z7A and placed face up. In this case, the Pendulum Monster Card placed in the Extra Deck Zone Z7A can be placed in the Extra Monster Zones Z1A and Z1B, but cannot be placed in the Main Monster Zone Z2A to Z2E or the Magic / Trap Zone Z3A to Z3E. Therefore, it does not correspond to any of the “first type card”, “second type card”, and “third type card”. In addition, as described above, the Pendulum Monster Card has both the performance as a monster card (attack and defense) and the performance as a magic card that activates the Pendulum Summon. This corresponds to an example of “first performance”, and the performance as a magic card for invoking Pendulum summons corresponds to an example of “second performance”.

  The “two second regions at both ends” are, for example, the second region at the left end and the right end when a plurality of second regions are set so as to be aligned in the horizontal direction. For example, if a plurality of second regions are set so as to be arranged in the vertical direction, the second regions are the upper end and the lower end. In the example of the card game described above, the magic and trap zones Z3A and Z3E (pendulum zones) correspond to an example of “two second regions at both ends”.

  In the example of the card game described above, the third arrangement control unit 160B accepts the arrangement of the first user's pendulum monster card in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E (an example of the first area). Further, the third arrangement control unit 160B accepts the arrangement of the first user's pendulum monster card in the magic and trap zones Z3A and Z3E (an example of the second area).

  [3-3-3] The game process execution unit 170B executes the game process based on the cards arranged in the first area or the second area. For example, when the third type card is arranged in the first area, the game process execution unit 170B executes the game process based on the first performance information associated with the third type card. In addition, when the third type card is arranged in the second area, the game process execution unit 170B executes the game process based on the second performance information associated with the third type card.

  Here, “execute the game process based on the first performance information associated with the third type card” is based on, for example, the first performance (attack power or defense strength, etc.) of the third type card. Execute an attack from the first user to the second user, execute an attack from the second user to the first user, and exhibit the first performance (effect, etc.) of the third type card And so on.

  “Performing the game process based on the second performance information associated with the third type card” means, for example, exhibiting the second performance (effect, etc.) of the third type card. Based on the second performance (attack power or defensive power, etc.) of the third type card, an attack from the first user to the second user is executed, or an attack from the second user to the first user is executed. It may be to do.

  In addition, when the third type card is arranged in the two second areas, the first arrangement control unit 140B is configured to select a plurality of second types based on the combination of the third type cards arranged in the two second areas. Arrangement of a plurality of first type cards or third type cards in one area is accepted at a time.

  Here, “based on the combination of the third type cards, accepts the arrangement of the plurality of first type cards or the third type cards in the plurality of first areas at once” means that the combination of the third type cards is In the case of a specific combination, the arrangement of a plurality of first type cards or third type cards in a plurality of first areas is accepted. The number of first cards or third type cards that can be arranged at one time may be set to a numerical value corresponding to a combination of third type cards. Here, the “plurality of first type cards or third type cards” may be “plurality of first type cards”, “plurality of third type cards”, “One or more first type cards and one or more third type cards” may be used.

  In the example of the card game described above, when the first user's pendulum monster card (an example of the third type card) is arranged in any of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E (an example of the first area), the game process The execution unit 170B is arranged in the main monster zone Z2F to Z2J or the like from the pendulum monster card based on the attack power of the pendulum monster card (an example of the first performance information) in response to an instruction from the first user. The attack process to the monster card of the second user is executed.

  On the other hand, when the first user's pendulum monster card is placed in both of the magic and trap zones Z3A and Z3E (an example of the second area), the game process execution unit 170B responds to an instruction from the first user. Based on the pendulum scale (an example of second performance information) of the pendulum monster card, the pendulum summon is activated. In this case, the first placement control unit 140B sets the monster card at the level between the pendulum scales indicated by the pendulum monster cards placed in both the magic / spear zones Z3A and Z3E, once per turn, as much as possible. Arrangement from the user's hand C1 or the extra deck zone Z7A to the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E is accepted.

  [4. Processing] Next, processing executed in the game system 1 will be described.

  [4-1] FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of an outline of processing executed when a card game match is started. In FIG. 27, the case where the 1st user who uses 1st game terminal 10-1 and the 2nd user who uses 2nd game terminal 10-2 are determined as a combination of the user who fights is assumed. .

  As shown in FIG. 27, first, the control unit 31 of the server 30 executes an initial setting process (S300). For example, the control unit 31 sets each zone of the duel field F. Specifically, the control unit 31 sets zones other than the main deck zones Z5A and Z5B and the extra deck zones Z7A and Z7B to a state where no cards are arranged. Further, the control unit 31 refers to the first user's deck data D104, and shuffles the first user's deck to generate the first user's deck placed in the first user's main deck zone Z5A. Further, the control unit 31 refers to the extra deck data D105 of the first user and generates the extra deck of the first user to be arranged in the extra deck zone Z7A of the first user. Similarly, the control unit 31 refers to the deck data D104 of the second user and shuffles the deck of the second user, thereby generating the second user's deck placed in the main deck zone Z5B of the second user. Further, the control unit 31 refers to the extra deck data D105 of the second user, and generates the extra deck of the second user to be arranged in the extra deck zone Z7B of the second user. Moreover, the control part 31 sets the life point of a 1st user and a 2nd user to an initial value, or determines from which turn of a 1st user and a 2nd user it starts. In step S300, the game situation data is initialized by executing the processing as described above.

  After executing step S300, the control unit 31 transmits a card game battle start instruction to the first game terminal 10-1 and the second game terminal 10-2 via the communication unit 33 (S302). Note that the control unit 31 sends data necessary for displaying various images such as the game image G1 on the display unit 15 together with the battle start instruction to each of the first game terminal 10-1 and the second game terminal 10-2. Send. For example, game status data and data (serial number, card number, card name, image, etc.) of each card included in the decks and extra decks of the first user and the second user are transmitted.

  The first game terminal 10-1 and the second game terminal 10-2 receive a battle start instruction via the communication unit 13 (S100, S110), and each control unit 11 displays the game image G1 on the display unit 15. (S102, S112). Then, a card game battle is started.

  [4-2] FIG. 28 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an outline of processing executed when a card placement instruction operation or an attack instruction operation is performed by a user during a match. In FIG. 28, it is assumed that a card placement instruction operation or an attack instruction operation is performed by the first user. Similar processing is executed when a card placement instruction operation or an attack instruction operation is performed by the second user.

  As shown in FIG. 28, when the card placement instruction operation or the attack instruction operation is performed by the first user during the battle, first, the control unit 11 of the first game terminal 10-1 operates the operation data via the communication unit 13. Is transmitted to the server 30 (S120), and the server 30 receives the operation data via the communication unit 33 (S310). Then, the control unit 31 of the server 30 updates the game situation data based on the operation data (S312).

  When the operation data indicating the card placement instruction operation is received, first, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the placement target card designated by the first user can be placed in the placement destination zone designated by the first user. To do.

  For example, when the placement target card is a normal monster card in the hand C1, the control unit 31 determines whether the placement destination zone is one of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, or whether the placement destination zone is free. It is determined whether or not the summoning conditions of the placement target card are satisfied. In addition, when the summoning conditions are not particularly set for the placement target card, the control unit 31 regards that the summoning conditions for the placement target card are satisfied. The placement zone is one of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E, the placement zone is empty (that is, no other card is placed in the placement zone), and the placement target card When the summoning conditions are satisfied, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone.

  Further, for example, when the placement target card is a magic card or a trap card in the hand C1, the control unit 31 determines whether the placement destination zone is one of the magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E, and the placement destination. Determine whether the zone is empty. When the placement destination zone is any one of the magic and trap zones Z3A to Z3E and the placement destination zone is empty, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone.

  Also, for example, when the placement target card is a pendulum monster card, the control unit 31 determines whether the placement destination zone is one of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E or the magic / spear zone Z3A, Z3E, It is determined whether or not the zone is free and whether or not the summoning conditions for the placement target card are satisfied. When the placement zone is one of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E or the magic and trap zone Z3A, Z3E, the placement zone is empty, and the summoning conditions for the placement target card are satisfied The control unit 31 determines that the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone.

  Further, for example, when the arrangement target card is an extra monster card on the extra deck zone Z7A of the first user, the control unit 31 executes a process as shown in FIG.

  That is, first, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the placement destination zone is empty (S320). When the placement destination zone is not empty (when another card is already placed in the placement destination zone), the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card cannot be placed in the placement destination zone (S334). However, if the extra monster card is an Xyz monster card, the control unit 31 exceptionally does not determine that the placement target card cannot be placed in the placement zone even if the placement zone is not empty. Then, step S322 described later is executed.

  On the other hand, when the placement destination zone is vacant, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the summoning conditions for the placement target card are satisfied (S322). In addition, when the summoning conditions are not set for the placement target card, the control unit 31 considers that the summoning conditions for the placement target card are satisfied. If the summoning condition for the placement target card is not satisfied, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card cannot be placed in the placement destination zone (S334).

  On the other hand, when the summoning conditions for the placement target card are satisfied, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the placement destination zone is one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B (S324). When the placement destination zone is one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the first user's card is already placed in the other of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. (S326). When the first user's card is not placed in the other of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone (S332).

  On the other hand, when the first user's card is arranged in the other of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the control unit 31 uses an extra link between the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B as in the example shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not they are connected (S328). When the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are connected by an extra link, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone (S332). On the other hand, when the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are not connected by the extra link, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card cannot be placed in the placement destination zone (S334).

  If it is determined in step S324 that the placement destination zone is not one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the control unit 31 has already placed the placement destination zone in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E. It is determined whether or not the main monster zone is indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card (S330). When the placement destination zone is the main monster zone as described above, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone (S332). On the other hand, when the placement destination zone is not the main monster zone as described above, the control unit 31 determines that the placement target card cannot be placed in the placement destination zone (S334).

  When the placement target card can be placed in the placement destination zone, the control unit 31 updates the game situation data so that the placement target card is placed in the placement destination zone. If it is necessary to remove the cards placed in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E and move them to the graveyard Z4A etc. in exchange for placing the placement target cards in the placement destination zone (ie, need to be released) ), The control unit 31 updates the game situation data so that the card is removed and moved to the graveyard Z4A or the like. On the other hand, if it is not possible to place the placement target card in the placement destination zone, the control unit 31 does not update the game situation data (without placing the placement target card in the placement destination zone), and firstly notifies that fact. Notify user terminal 10-1.

  In addition, in the state where the pendulum monster card is arranged in both the magic and trap zones Z3A and Z3E, when the operation data indicating the operation for instructing the pendulum summon is received, the control unit 31 performs the operation according to the operation. A designated monster card (a monster card at a level between the pendulum scales indicated by those pendulum monster cards) is placed in the main monster zone Z2A to Z2E from the first user's hand C1 and the extra deck zone Z7A.

  Also, for example, an attack instruction operation (that is, a second user arranged in the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J or the like by a monster card of the first user arranged in any of the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E or the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B) When the operation data indicating the operation for instructing to attack the monster card is received, the control unit 31 executes the process described below to update the game situation data.

  If the 2nd user's monster card | curd of attack target is an attack display state, the control part 31 will compare the attack power of a 1st user's monster card | curd with the attack power of a 2nd user's monster card | curd. When the attack power of the monster card of the first user is higher than the attack power of the monster card of the second user, the control unit 31 decreases the life point of the second user by an amount corresponding to the difference in the attack power. On the other hand, when the attack power of the monster card of the first user is lower than the attack power of the monster card of the second user, the control unit 31 decreases the life point of the first user by an amount corresponding to the difference in attack power. When the attack power of the first user's monster card is equal to the attack power of the second user's monster card, the control unit 31 moves the first user's monster card to the graveyard Z4A, and the second user's monster card. To graveyard Z4B.

  On the other hand, if the 2nd user's monster card | curd of attack target is in the state of defensive display, the control part 31 will compare the attack power of a 1st user's monster card | curd with the defensive power of a 2nd user's monster card | curd. When the attack power of the monster card of the first user is higher than the defense power of the monster card of the second user, the control unit 31 moves the monster card of the second user to the graveyard Z4B. On the other hand, when the attack power of the monster card of the first user is lower than the defense power of the monster card of the second user, the control unit 31 increases the life point of the first user by an amount corresponding to the difference between the defense power and the attack power. Decrease. When the attack power of the monster card of the first user is equal to the defense power of the monster card of the second user, the control unit 31 updates the life points of the first user and the second user, The current state is maintained without moving the monster card of the second user to the graveyards Z4A and Z4B.

  After execution of step S312, the control unit 31 transmits update result data indicating the update result of the game situation data to the first game terminal 10-1 and the second game terminal 10-2 via the communication unit 33 (S314). ), The first game terminal 10-1 and the second game terminal 10-2 receive the data via the communication unit 13 (S122, S130). And based on the said data, each control part 11 updates the game image G1 displayed on the display part 15 (S124, S132).

  [5. Summary] In the game system 1 (first configuration), the arrangement of the extra monster cards of the first user or the second user in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2J is restricted and shared by the first user and the second user. By arranging in the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, it becomes difficult for the first user and the second user to arrange an extra monster card having a higher attack power than a normal monster card. As a result, the strategy in the card game can be improved.

  In addition, in the game system 1 (first configuration), when the first user's extra monster card is placed in one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, it is restricted to place the first user's extra monster card in the other When the second user's extra monster card is placed in one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the second user's extra monster card is restricted from being placed in the other, so that the first user and the second user A state in which one extra monster card with the user is placed in both the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B can be made difficult to occur.

  In the game system 1 (first configuration), the number of extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B is set to be smaller than the number of main monster zones Z2A to Z2E of the first user and the number of main monster zones Z2F to Z2J of the second user. By doing so, it becomes difficult to place a large number of extra monster cards. As a result, the strategy in the card game can be improved.

  In the game system 1 (first configuration), the extra monster zone Z1A is located between the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E of the first user and the main monster zones Z2F to Z2J of the second user set so as to face each other. , Z1B is set so that the first user or the second user can intuitively understand that the extra monster zone Z1A, Z1B is an area shared by the first user or the second user. .

  Further, in the game system 1 (second configuration), in a normal case, the first user restricts the placement of the extra monster card in the main monster zone Z2A to Z2E of the first user, and the link of the first user When a monster card (a kind of extra monster card) is placed in one of the extra monster zones Z1A, Z1B, the main monster zone Z2A-Z2E is in the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the linked monster card. By allowing the first user's extra monster card to be placed in the monster zone, the first user places the linked monster card in the extra monster zone Z1A, Z1B while taking into account the link marker M31 of the linked monster card. Makes it possible to increase the number of deployable extra monster cards. As a result, the strategy in the card game can be improved.

  Moreover, in the game system 1 (2nd structure), when the 1st user's link monster card | curd is arrange | positioned in either of the 1st user's main monster zones Z2A-Z2E, of the main monster zones Z2A-Z2E, By allowing the first user's extra monster card to be placed in the main monster zone in the direction indicated by the link monster card's link marker M31, the first user can link while considering the link monster card's link marker M31. By placing monster cards in the main monster zone, it is possible to further increase the number of extra monster cards that can be placed. As a result, the strategy in the card game can be improved.

  Further, in the game system 1 (second configuration), in the normal case, the second user restricts placing the extra monster card in the main monster zone Z2F to Z2J of the second user, and the link monster of the first user is limited. When the card is placed in any of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the second monster zone Z2F to Z2J of the second user's main monster zone is in the direction indicated by the link marker M31 of the link monster card. When the first user places the link monster card in either of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B by enabling the arrangement of the two user extra monster cards, depending on the link marker M31 of the link monster card, the second user Also Consisting of click Stora monster card to be placed in the main monster zone Z2F~Z2J. Therefore, the first user fully considers the link monster card link marker M31, whether or not to place the link monster card in the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, and the link monster placed in the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. It is necessary to select. As a result, the strategy in the card game can be further improved.

  In the game system 1 (second configuration), when the linked monster card of the first user is placed in one of the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, the linked monster card of the first user is placed on the other side in principle. The first user can link the link monster card by restricting the fact that only the extra link as shown in FIG. By carefully considering the marker M31 and selecting the link monster card to be arranged, the link monster card can be exceptionally arranged in both the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B. As a result, the strategy in the card game can be further improved.

  Further, in the game system 1 (second configuration), the first user's main monster zones Z2A to Z2E are positioned in at least three directions when viewed from the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B, respectively, so that the extra monster zones Z1A and Z1B are located. As a result, the number of patterns in the main monster zone in which the extra monster card can be arranged by the link monster card arranged in the extra monster zone Z1A, Z1B can be increased.

  Furthermore, in the game system 1 (third configuration), the Pendulum Monster Card is received by accepting the arrangement of the Pendulum Monster Card of the first user in the Main Monster Zones Z2A to Z2J or the Magic / Trap Zone Z3A, Z3E. There is no need to provide a dedicated area for the arrangement separately from the main monster zones Z2A to Z2J or the magic / spear zones Z3A and Z3E. As a result, the space required for executing the card game can be reduced.

  Further, in the game system 1 (third configuration), when the first user's pendulum monster card is placed in the main monster zone Z2A to Z2J, it plays a role as a monster card, and the first user's pendulum monster card is magic.・ By placing it in the main monster zone Z2A-Z2J by playing a role as a magic card that activates Pendulum Summon when it is placed in the trap zone Z3A, Z3E, The performance exhibited by the Pendulum Monster Card can be changed depending on whether it is placed on Z3E. In other words, it is possible to select whether the performance of the Pendulum Monster Card as a monster card or the performance of a magic card is exhibited.

  In addition, in the game system 1 (third configuration), when the first user's pendulum monster card is placed in both the magic and trap zones Z3A and Z3E, the level between the pendulum scales indicated by those pendulum monster cards Once per turn, monster cards can be placed in the main monster zones Z2A to Z2E from the first user's hand C1 and the extra deck zone Z7A as much as they like. As a result, as a monster summoning method, a special summoning method such as the above-mentioned Pendulum Summoning can be provided to the user separately from the normal summoning method. The user can select these methods and improve the strategy in the card game.

  In addition, in the game system 1 (third configuration), the number of magic / spear zones in which the first user's pendulum monster card can be placed can be limited to two. If the above pendulum summoning can be performed unnecessarily, there is a risk that the interest of the card game may be impaired. However, according to the game system 1 (third configuration), the occurrence of such inconvenience can be suppressed. In addition, according to the game system 1 (third configuration), since the two magic / 罠 zones Z3A and Z3E at both ends of the magic / 罠 zones Z3A to Z3E are areas where the pendulum monster cards can be placed, It becomes easy to grasp which of the cocoon zones Z3A to Z3E is an area where a pendulum monster card can be placed.
