[First Embodiment]

[Outline of the game]
First, an outline of an example of the game according to this embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a game played by using a game object owned by the user, and is, for example, a battle game in which a battle is performed with an opponent. The game object is, for example, a card corresponding to each of the plurality of characters. A character is a person, an animal, an object (for example, a vehicle) that appears in the game. A card is an entity that represents a character appearing in a game, and is an example of an object recognized by a user by an image (text, still image, moving image, or the like). Specifically, the card is a card that represents a character who battles with an enemy character that is an opponent in the game, and is displayed as an image on the game screen.

  Although the battle game is taken as an example here, the game is not limited to the battle game and may be another type of game such as a baseball game, a soccer game, an RPG game, and a training game. The game object is not limited to the card, and may be another object such as a medal or a figure representing the character itself, and may be an image displayed on the game screen as with the card. .

  In the battle game according to the present embodiment, a plurality of cards that can be used for battle are given to the user as the game progresses. For example, the card is given to the user as a reward when winning the battle of the game, or given to the user by performing a card lottery (so-called gacha). The user can carry a plurality of granted cards and select a card of a character to battle from among the owned cards. In addition to the characters, the cards also include those showing weapons and armor that have an effect on the character's attack and defense in battle. The user possesses a card indicating a weapon or armor as well as a card indicating a character, and can select a card to be used for a battle from among the possessed cards.

  Some of the cards possessed by the user (hereinafter, also referred to as “possession cards”) include those that are set as possession cards as initial settings in advance at the start of play, and those that are acquired after starting play. The possessed cards of default settings are often insufficient for the advantageous progress of the game, and the progress of the game is greatly influenced by how good the user can obtain the card after starting the play. After the play is started, the user can acquire the card by, for example, a card lottery.

[About card lottery]
The card lottery is performed at a predetermined timing (for example, the timing of the first play in the day, the timing according to the number of games played, etc.), when the user wins the battle, or payment of a predetermined fee or in-game It becomes feasible by spending currency. For example, when the user performs a tap operation on the “card lottery” button displayed on the game screen, the screen is changed to the card lottery screen, and the lottery process of the card given to the user is executed. The operation on the "card lottery" button for performing the card lottery is also referred to as "lottery operation" below.

  Here, an example of the card lottery method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In the present embodiment, the user can select the card given to the user from the plurality of cards selected by the lottery according to a predetermined rule.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. When the card lottery is executed, 14 cards selected by the lottery are presented as shown in the illustrated card lottery screen G10. Here, the drawn 14 cards are shown as cards A to N for convenience, but in reality, the card information of each drawn card is displayed. The 14 cards are cards that the user can select as the cards to be given to the user (that is, the choices of cards that the user can obtain). Here, the user can select three cards in sequence one by one from the 14 cards in one lottery. The selection of each of the first, second, and third sheets can be selected in accordance with the order of preset stages from options divided into three stages corresponding to the respective selections. Here, it is divided into three stages, that is, the first option, the second option, and the third option. Each of the first, second, and third options is selected as the first option. The second option, the third option, and the third option can be selected in this order. In the illustrated example, the first option is two cards A and B. The second option is four cards C to F. The third option is eight cards G to N.

  The two cards of the first option, the four cards of the second option, and the eight cards of the third option start from the bottom "Start", and the selection path shown by the arrow Together with the route information (route information) indicating the, a lower tree structure, a middle structure, and an upper structure are arranged in an inverted tree structure (a hierarchical structure that branches from bottom to top). The route information is information indicating the association between a plurality of cards, and indicates the order in which the user selects the cards and rules such as selectable / unselectable. That is, card options are limited based on this route information. For example, the route information is information indicating a route from the selected one card to the next selectable card, and the second selectable card is the second selectable option when the first selectable card is selected. And the card that can be selected as the third card is limited to one of the options of the third card. That is, the next selectable card after the selected card is a card connected to the selected card by route information. It is not possible to select a card that is not connected to the selected card by route information. The route information has a direction (arrow direction), and the arrow direction indicates the order of selection. Cards connected to the tip of the arrow can be selected, but cards connected to the opposite direction of the arrow cannot be selected. In the following description, the fact that the route information is connected to the arrowhead is also simply referred to as the route information. In addition, the route information displayed on the card lottery screen is, more specifically, “information that allows the association between the cards to be visually recognized based on the route information (association information) indicating the association between the plurality of cards”. In the embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the visually recognizable information is also simply referred to as “route information”.

  In the illustrated example, the first selectable card starting from "Start" is the card A and the card B connected to "Start" by route information. The second option is four cards C to F, but when the first card A is selected, the two cards C and D, which are connected to the card A by route information, are two. When the first card is the card B, the two cards E and F, which are connected to the card B by the route information, are the second selectable cards.

  Similarly, the third option is eight cards G to N, but the card that can be selected as the third card is also limited by the card that is selected as the second card. For example, when the second card C is selected, the two cards G and H, which are connected to the card C by route information, become the third selectable card, and the second card D is selected. When selected, the two cards, card I and card J, which are connected to card D by route information, become the third selectable card. When the second card E is selected, the two cards K and L, which are connected to the card E by the route information, become the third selectable cards and the second card F is selected. When selected, the two cards M and M, which are connected to the card F by the route information, are the third selectable cards.

  The user selects the first option (e.g., cards A and B), the second option (e.g., cards C to F), and the third option (e.g., card G) out of the 14 cards selected by lottery. ..- N), one card is selected from the cards that can be selected according to the route information in each option. As a result, the selected three cards are given to the user.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of selecting a lottery card on the card lottery screen. In the illustrated card lottery screen G20, first, the card A is selected from the two cards A and B as the first selection. At the time when the first card A is selected, the only cards that can be selected next as the second card are the cards C and D that are connected to the card A by the route information, and the route information such as the card E and the card F. You cannot select cards that are not connected with. In addition, it is not possible to skip the second option and select the third option, such as the card G or the card H. In the illustrated example, the card D is selected from the two cards C and D as the second selection, and the card I is selected from the two cards I and J as the third selection. ing. The selected card A, card D, and card I are given to the user, and the other cards are not given.

  In addition, the display mode of the selected card (selected card) may be changed so that the selected card (visible card) can be visually distinguished from the unselected card (unselected card). For example, the selected card may be highlighted (displayed with a thick frame, enlarged display, three-dimensionally displayed, etc.), or the color may be changed with respect to the unselected state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the non-selectable card may be displayed in the dark. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery screen when a non-selectable card is displayed in the dark. In the illustrated card lottery screen G30, the card A is selected as the first selection, and only the cards C and D can be selected as the second selection. Therefore, the non-selectable card B and the cards E to N are darkly displayed. Since the card A has already been selected, it is in a display mode (for example, highlighted display) indicating that it has been selected. Note that the non-selectable card is not limited to the dark display, and the non-selectable card may be displayed in gray, the display in which the contrast is lowered, or may not be displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, if there is no route to rejoin after branching the route in the route information of the cards arranged in the reverse tree structure, the second card, the first card if the third card is determined, The first card is also confirmed. Therefore, when the specification is such that the user can select the third card first, the user can automatically select the second card and the first card by selecting the third card. May be done.

  Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the card lottery screen is basically disclosed by displaying the information of each card. The card information is information indicating the contents of the card, such as the card name (character name, etc.) and the card parameters (rarity, attack power, defense power, etc.). As a result, the user selects the card he or she wants to acquire in consideration of which route the selection of the card will be better when three cards are finally acquired with reference to the information. It is possible to enhance the preference of the lottery in.

  Next, a card selection method will be described. In the card lottery screens shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the user performs a tap operation on a card to be selected, a selection confirmation screen for confirming the selection is displayed. The selection confirmation screen may be displayed in a pop-up superimposed on the card lottery screen by tapping the card, or may be displayed instead of the card lottery screen. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the selection confirmation screen. On the selection confirmation screen GP10 shown in the figure, detailed information of the card is displayed in the area indicated by the symbol f1. For example, as the card information, a card image (an image showing a character corresponding to this card), a rarity, an attack power, a defense power, a value of a parameter associated with the card such as HP, and the like are displayed. In the area indicated by the symbol f2, a sentence (here, "Do you want to select this card?") Requesting operation input as to whether or not to select a card, and a selection for confirming the selection of the card A confirm button B1 (here, a button described as "Yes") and a cancel button B2 (here, described as "Cancel") for canceling the tap operation on the immediately preceding card without selecting a card. Button) is displayed. When the user taps the selection confirm button B1, the selection of the card is confirmed and the screen returns to the card lottery screen.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, in the plural lottery in which a plurality of cards are given to the user for one lottery operation, it is presented together with the route information. The user can select and obtain a plurality of (for example, three) cards from the plurality of (for example, 14) cards to be played according to the route information. Hereinafter, the plural lottery is also referred to as “route select lottery”. In addition, the operation of selecting a card to be acquired by the user from the plurality of cards (for example, 14 cards) selected by the plural-card lottery is also referred to as “selection operation” below.

[Functional configuration]
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, functional configurations of the user terminal 10 and the game server 30 included in the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the configurations of the user terminal 10 and the game server 30 according to the present embodiment.

[Functional Configuration of User Terminal 10]
First, the functional configuration of the user terminal 10 will be described.
The user terminal 10 includes a game control unit 110 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 11 executing the game control program stored in the storage unit 15. The game control unit 110 executes a game process based on a game control program according to a user's operation on the input unit 13. For example, the game control unit 110 executes a battle game process.

  For example, the game control unit 110 includes an operation reception unit 111, a lottery request unit 112, a lottery result acquisition unit 113, a display control unit 114, and a selection result transmission unit 115. The operation reception unit 111 receives a user operation on the input unit 13. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 14 to display various game screens corresponding to a game process (for example, a battle game process) executed according to the content of the user's operation accepted by the operation accepting unit 111. The various game screens include a home screen that is displayed when the game is started, a card selection screen that selects the cards to be used for battle from the possessed cards, an item purchase screen where you can purchase items used in the game, enemy characters Includes battle screen etc.

  For example, on the home screen, an operation icon as an operator that transitions to a card selection screen, an item purchase screen, a battle screen, etc. is displayed, and transitions to each screen according to the user's operation on the operation icon corresponding to each screen. To do. Further, on the home screen, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a "card lottery" button is displayed as an operator for the user to perform a card lottery. Based on the lottery operation for the "card lottery" button, the home screen is changed to the card lottery screen.

  The predetermined condition for card lottery is, for example, that the card lottery has not been executed on that day if the card lottery has a specification that allows card lottery up to once a day. Note that the card lottery may be possible on condition that the points earned in the battle are consumed or the in-game currency (which may be exchanged with the currency of the real world) is consumed. Further, card lottery may be possible on condition that payment of a predetermined fee is made. Further, the specification may be such that card lottery can be performed unconditionally.

  The lottery requesting unit 112 sends the lottery request information requesting the card lottery to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12 when the operation receiving unit 111 receives the user's lottery operation for the operation icon for performing the card lottery. Send to. The lottery request information includes identification information of the user who plays the game, identification information of the game, lottery type information indicating the type of card lottery requesting execution, and the like. There are two types of card lottery, one-shot lottery and multiple-card lottery. The single-shot lottery is a lottery in which one lottery process is performed for one lottery operation and one card selected in the lottery is given to the user. On the other hand, the plural-lottery is a lottery in which a plurality of cards are given to the user for one lottery operation. The “route select lottery” described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 can be applied to the plural-lottery.

  The lottery request unit 112 transmits the lottery request information to the game server 30, whereby the game server 30 executes the lottery process. When the game server 30 acquires the lottery request information from the user terminal 10, the game server 30 executes the lottery process and transmits the lottery result information indicating the lottery result to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32.

  The lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information indicating the lottery result of the lottery process executed by the game server 30 via the communication unit 12. For example, in the case of single-shot lottery, the lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information indicating one card selected by lottery as a card given to the user. On the other hand, in the case of a lottery lottery, the lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires lottery result information indicating a plurality of cards (for example, 14 cards) that are candidates for cards to be given to the user. In the case of a lottery lottery, the route information may be acquired from the game server 30 in association with the lottery result information, or set in advance in association with the positions of the 14 cards to be lottered. May be For example, when the lottery result acquisition unit 113 acquires the lottery result information, the display control unit 114 generates a card lottery screen based on the acquired lottery result information (for example, see FIG. 1) and displays it on the display unit 14.

  The selection result transmission unit 115 transmits card selection information (for example, option ID) indicating the selected card to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12 based on the user's selection operation on the card lottery screen. Further, the display control unit 114 updates the display mode of the card selected based on the selection operation (see FIG. 2). In addition, the display control unit 114 may darkly display the unselectable card (option) next to the card selected based on the selection operation (see FIG. 3).

  Further, the game control unit 110 transmits various setting information and history information corresponding to the processing of the game to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12, and transmits various setting information and history information to the communication unit 12 as necessary. Via the game server 30.

[Functional Configuration of Game Server 30]
Next, the functional configuration of the game server 30 will be described.
The game server 30 includes a server control unit 310 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 31 executing a program stored in the storage unit 35. The server control unit 310 controls each unit of the game server 30. For example, the server control unit 310 acquires user information from the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32 in response to a request from the user terminal 10, and stores the acquired user information in the storage unit 35. Here, the user information is, for example, identification information (user ID) for identifying the user, various parameters in the user's game, cards that the user can use in the game, a history of the user's play results, and the like. is there. The user information is not limited to the user ID as long as the user can be identified, and may be a user name or the like. The server control unit 310 also executes a lottery process based on the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10. Details of the functional configuration related to the lottery process will be described later.

  Here, various data of the game stored in the storage unit 35 will be described in detail. For example, the storage unit 35 includes a user data storage unit 351, a card master data storage unit 352, a possessed card data storage unit 353, an item data storage unit 354, and a lottery data storage unit 355.

  The user data storage unit 351 stores user information of a user who plays a game on the user terminal 10. For example, the user data storage unit 351 stores, as user data, a user ID, a user name, various parameters whose values change according to the progress of the game, and the like.

  The card master data storage unit 352 stores master data (card master data) of cards prepared in the game. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a data example of card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352. In the illustrated card master data, card information such as a card ID, purpose, card name, card image, rarity, attribute, character parameter, etc. is associated and set.

  The card ID is identification information that can be identified for each type of card. For example, as card types, cards with different card names or cards with the same card name but different rarities are identified as different types of cards. The use is classified according to the use of the card in the game, and each card indicates a character, a weapon, an armor, or the like. The card name is the name of each card and is the name of a character, weapon, armor, or the like. The card image is an image showing at least a part of modes (form, shape, name, etc.) of characters, weapons, armor, etc. of each card, and is an illustration drawn on the card, for example. Rarity is an index indicating the rarity of each card, and is divided into, for example, five levels of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 from the lowest to the highest. The higher the rarity of the card, the higher the value to the user, and the higher the attack power and the defense power or the higher the upper limit value. By using a card with high rarity, the user is more likely to be able to proceed with the battle in an advantageous manner. Further, for example, in the card lottery, the selection ratio of cards may be set according to the rarity. The attribute is information indicating an attack that the character of the card indicating the character is good at. For example, the attribute is associated with fire, water, or tree, which have a superiority relationship with each other. For example, a fire character can do great damage when a water character attacks, a water character can do great damage when a wooden character attacks, and a wood character can do a fire character. When you attack, you can do great damage.

  The character parameter is information whose value fluctuates according to the progress of the game, and includes, for example, HP of each card (character), attack power, and defense power. The value of the character parameter set in the card master data is an initial value when the card is given to the user. HP is a value representing the physical strength, vitality, etc. of each card (character). The attack power is information indicating the attack power of each card (character) in the battle. The defense strength is information indicating the value of the defense strength of each card (character) in the battle. These character parameters are changed in the course of the game by winning or losing a battle, synthesizing cards (increasing the value of the character parameter by combining a plurality of cards into one card), and the like. For example, the battle can be advantageously advanced as the values of HP, attack power, defense power, etc. become higher.

  The possessed card data storage unit 353 stores possessed card data for managing cards possessed by each user. For example, the possessed card data is associated with the user ID of the user, the serial number (serial number) of the card possessed by the user, the card ID, the card name, the card image, the rarity, and the character parameter. Is stored. The serial number is a number uniquely assigned to each card and is information that can identify each card in the game. Even if the cards have the same card ID, if a plurality of cards are possessed, different serial numbers are associated with the respective cards. Further, the card ID, card name, card image, rarity, and character parameter store the value (initial value) of the master data of the card when the card is given to the user. Then, as the game progresses, the value of the character parameter of the possessed card data is updated at any time.

  The item data storage unit 354 stores data related to items given to the user by a privilege or a reward. The items include, for example, a recovery item having an effect of recovering the reduced HP value, a lottery ticket for which a lottery right is obtained, and the like.

  The lottery data storage unit 355 stores lottery data regarding the route selection lottery. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a data example of lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355. For example, option IDs, route information, lottery card IDs, selection order parameters, option flags, and the like are stored in association with the lottery data. The option ID is identification information for identifying the card (that is, option) to be added, which is selected by the lottery of a plurality of cards. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, 14 option IDs A to N are set for each of the 14 option cards A to N. The route information stores the option IDs of the cards (options) associated with the cards (options) identified by the option IDs, as information indicating the association between the plurality of cards. For example, in the route information of the option ID "A", the option IDs "C" and "D" of the options (cards C and D) connected to this option (card A) by the route information are stored. As the route information indicating the route from the start to the first option, the route information of the option ID “START (start)” includes the option ID “A of the options (cards A and B) connected by the start and the route information. And “B” are stored. For these route information, preset values are stored, for example. Note that the route information may store not only the option IDs of the options shown on the left connected by the route information but also the original and destination option IDs connected by the route information.

  It should be noted that a plurality of types of route information may be set in the route information, and in that case, when the route selection lottery is executed, one of the plurality of types of route information is selected. Good. The method for selecting the route information may be selected according to a predetermined rule (for example, the route information is selected according to the number of times of lottery), or may be selected at random.

  The lottery card ID stores the card ID of the card selected by the lottery as each option. The lottery is performed with a part or all of the card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352 as the lottery target. The lottery method may be a random lottery or a lottery according to a predetermined lottery rule. For example, the second option may have a higher probability that a card with a higher value is drawn than the first option, and similarly, the third option may have a higher probability than the second option. However, it is possible to increase the probability that a high-value card will be selected by lottery. A high-value card is, for example, a card with high rarity, offensive power, and high defense power. In addition, in each of the first option, the second option, and the third option, cards of the same rarity may be drawn by lot, or cards of the same attribute may be drawn by lot. Good. Thus, the lottery method can be set arbitrarily.

  The card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen shown in FIG. 1 is generated based on the information of the option ID, the route information, and the lottery card ID described above.

  The selection order parameter is information indicating whether or not the card displayed as an option on the card lottery screen is selected, and information indicating the selection order when the card is selected. For example, “0” is stored in the selection order parameter of an unselected card (option). On the other hand, in the selection order parameter of the selected card (option), the values “1”, “2”, ... The option flag is information indicating whether the card (option) can be selected by the user. For example, "1" is stored in the selectable card (option), and "0" is stored in the non-selectable card (option). For example, when all the cards (options) are not selected and the selection order parameters are all “0”, the option flag is set based on the route information associated with the option ID “START” (options). The option flags of the IDs "A" and "B" are "1", and the other optional flags are "0"). If any card (option) is selected, the option flag is set based on the route information associated with the option ID of the card (option) that is the latest in the selection order (that is, the most recently selected card). Is set. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when only the card B having the option ID "B" is selected, the option flag is set based on the route information associated with the option ID "B" (the option ID " The option flags of "E" and "E" are "1", and the other option flags are "0"). When the card E is selected after the card B, the value of the selection order parameter associated with the option ID “E” is updated from “0” to “2” and associated with the option ID “E”. The option flags are set based on the route information being set (the option flags of the option IDs "K" and "L" are "1", and the other option flags are "0"). Based on the information of the selection order parameter and the option flag, in the card lottery screens shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the control for displaying the selected card (option) separately from the unselected card (option) and the selection non-selection Controls such as a dark display of possible cards (options) are performed.

  Next, the functional configuration of the route selection lottery process in the server control unit 310 will be described in detail. For example, the server control unit 310 includes a lottery processing unit 311, and based on the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10, in the case of route selection lottery, executes a lottery process of lottery a plurality of cards. The lottery method may be a random lottery in which part or all of the card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352 is a lottery target, or a lottery based on a predetermined lottery rule. . The card lottery may be performed inside the lottery processing unit 311, or may be performed by an external lottery unit (for example, a server device different from the game server 30). When the external lottery section is executed, the lottery processing section 311 acquires the lottery result executed by the external lottery section. The lottery processing unit 311 updates the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the lottery result, transmits lottery result information based on the lottery data to the user terminal 10, and draws a plurality of cards. And route information indicating the association between the cards are presented. In addition, when the lottery processing unit 311 acquires from the user terminal 10 the card selection information indicating the card selected by the user's selection operation among the plurality of cards, the lottery processing unit 311 can select next based on the selected card and route information. The right choice. Hereinafter, the configuration of the lottery processing unit 311 will be specifically described.

For example, the lottery processing unit 311 includes a presentation unit 312, a selection unit 313, an option determination unit 314, and a granting unit 315.
The presentation unit 312 presents a plurality of cards selected by lottery and route information indicating association between the plurality of cards. For example, when the presenting unit 312 performs a lottery based on the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10 and selects a plurality of cards as options, the presenting unit 312 stores the lottery data corresponding to the lottery result in the lottery data storage unit. It reads out from 355 and transmits the lottery result information based on the lottery data to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32. Thereby, in the user terminal 10, the card lottery image based on the lottery result information displays the card lottery image including the plurality of cards selected by the lottery and the route information indicating the association between the plurality of cards. .

  The selection unit 313 selects a card based on the user's selection operation from the plurality of card options presented by the presentation unit 312 (that is, the plurality of card options displayed on the card lottery screen in the user terminal 10). Select in order. For example, when the selection unit 313 acquires the card selection information transmitted from the user terminal 10 based on the selection operation of the user, the selection unit 313 selects the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the acquired card selection information. Update the selection order parameters.

  For example, the selection unit 313 selects a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards by sequentially selecting the cards based on the selection operation of the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of cards (options) selected by lottery are divided into a plurality of stages (for example, three stages), and a preset stage order (first card It is possible to select according to the option, the second option, and the third option).

  The option determination unit 314 determines the next selectable card (option) based on the route information between the card selected by the selection unit 313 and another card based on the selection operation by the user. The option determination unit 314 determines the next selectable card (option) by determining the next unselectable card based on the route information between the selected card and another card. Good. That is, the option determination unit 314 determines the next selectable card (option) based on the route information between the card selected immediately before and the other card. Then, the option determination unit 314 updates the option flag of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the above determination result, and the information based on the updated lottery data is transmitted to the user via the communication unit 32. It is transmitted to the terminal 10.

  The giving unit 315 gives the user the card selected by the selecting unit 313. For example, the assigning unit 315 associates the card ID of the card selected by the selecting unit 313 with the user ID of the user and stores the associated card data in the possessed card data storage unit 353. As a result, the user can use the given card as a possessed card in the play.

[Operation of lottery processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, an operation of the route selection lottery process executed by the lottery processing unit 311 of the game server 30 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the route selection lottery process according to this embodiment.

  First, when the lottery processing unit 311 acquires the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10, the lottery processing unit 311 performs a card lottery to randomly select a plurality of cards (for example, 14 cards) (step S100). Then, the lottery result information based on the lottery data including the card IDs and the route information of the plurality of cards (for example, 14 cards) that have been lottered is transmitted to the user terminal 10. Thereby, the lottery processing unit 311 presents the lottery card and the route information (step S102). Based on this lottery result information, the display control unit 114 of the user terminal 10 displays the card lottery image including the lottery card and the route information on the card lottery screen (see FIG. 1).

  Next, the lottery processing unit 311 acquires card selection information indicating the selected card from the user terminal 10 based on the user's selection operation (first selection operation) on the card lottery screen of the user terminal 10. Further, the lottery processing unit 311 updates the selection order parameter of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the acquired card selection information (step S104).

  Next, the lottery processing unit 311 selects the next (for example, the second) selectable card (selectable) based on the route information between the card selected based on the user's selection operation and another card. Options) are determined (step S106). Then, the lottery processing unit 311 updates the option flag of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the determination result, and the user based on the updated lottery data via the communication unit 32. It transmits to the terminal 10 (step S108).

  Next, the lottery processing unit 311 acquires card selection information indicating the selected card from the user terminal 10 based on the user's selection operation (second selection operation) on the card lottery screen of the user terminal 10. Further, the lottery processing unit 311 updates the selection order parameter of the lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 based on the acquired card selection information (step S110).

  Then, the lottery processing unit 311 determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, three cards) of cards have been selected by the selection operation of the user (step S112). When it is determined that the predetermined number of cards (for example, three cards) have not been selected (NO), the lottery processing unit 311 proceeds to the process of step S106, and performs the user's selection operation (second card selection operation). Based on the route information between the card selected based on this and other cards, the next (for example, the third) selectable card (option) is determined.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S112 that a predetermined number (for example, 3) of cards have been selected (YES), the lottery processing unit 311 allows the user to select a predetermined number (for example, 3) of cards. Given to. For example, the lottery processing unit 311 associates the card IDs of the selected predetermined number (for example, three) cards with the user IDs of the users, stores them in the possessed card data of the possessed card data storage unit 353, and updates them. .

[Summary of First Embodiment]
As described above, the lottery processing unit 311 of the game server 30 (an example of a game device) according to the present embodiment includes the presentation unit 312, the selection unit 313, the option determination unit 314, and the granting unit 315. There is. The presentation unit 312 includes a plurality of cards (an example of objects) selected by lottery, and route information indicating an association between the plurality of cards (an example of information by which the association between the objects can be visually recognized based on the association information). To present. The selection unit 313 sequentially selects objects from the plurality of cards presented by the presentation unit 312 based on the selection operation by the user. The option determining unit 314 determines the next selectable card based on the route information between the card selected immediately before and the other card. The giving unit 315 associates the card selected by the selecting unit 313 with the user ID (an example of identification information) for identifying the user.

  With this, when the user sequentially selects the card to be given to the user from the plurality of cards selected by the lottery, the game server 30 is based on the route information between the card selected immediately before and the other cards. Since the next selectable card is determined, the user can select a better card from the options limited by the route information, and the lottery of the game can be enhanced.

  For example, the selection unit 313 selects a predetermined number (for example, three cards) by sequentially selecting cards (an example of objects) based on a selection operation by the user. As a result, the game server 30 gives the user a predetermined number of cards selected by the user himself, and thus the possibility that the user can obtain a desired card is high, and the user's motivation for lottery can be increased. In addition, the game server 30 limits the number of cards that the user can acquire (for example, cards that can be acquired in one lottery) to a predetermined number, so that the importance of selection increases as compared to the case where there is no restriction, so Can be increased.

  A plurality of cards (an example of objects) selected by lottery are divided into a plurality of stages, and the cards can be selected according to a preset stage order. As a result, the game server 30 does not select a predetermined number of cards from the entire lottery cards, but selects the cards in order of the stages from among the cards divided for each stage. Cards will be selected in consideration of the routes of the cards that can be selected in the subsequent stages, and it is possible to enhance the taste of the lottery in the game.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and the characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the information of each card is basically displayed (that is, disclosed) for all of the plurality of cards (for example, 14 cards) selected by the lottery. However, the card information of some cards may not be disclosed, or only some of the card information may be disclosed.

  For example, the presentation unit 312 of the lottery processing unit 311 presents some or all of the information as non-disclosed for at least some of the cards selected by the lottery.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the card information is not disclosed for some of the options to be selected for the third card. Specifically, the part corresponding to the card I, the card M, and the card N shown in FIG. 1 is “?”, And it is not possible to know what kind of card is the card selected by the lottery at that part. It has become.

  Although card information is not disclosed for some of the options to be selected for the second card, only some of the card information is disclosed. Specifically, the part corresponding to the card C and the card E shown in FIG. 1 is "?", But only the rarity of the card is indicated by the "★" mark (the rarity is indicated by the number of ★). It is displayed as you can see. In addition to the rarity, a part of the disclosed information may be a specific parameter such as an attribute or an attack power. In this way, when the options include cards in which some or all of the card information is undisclosed, the user makes a request to these undisclosed cards when the disclosed card does not have the desired card. Can also be selected.

  It should be noted that the presenting unit 312 discloses all the information of the card whose part or all of the information is not disclosed after the selection is confirmed by the selection operation of the user. For example, since the selection is not confirmed even when the selection confirmation screen GP10 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, a card in which some or all of the card information is undisclosed is similarly undisclosed. When the user taps the selection confirmation button B1, the selection is confirmed, so the presentation unit 312 may disclose the information that was not disclosed. Alternatively, the presentation unit 312 may disclose information that has not been disclosed at the time when the selected card is given to the user after all of the predetermined number (for example, three cards) have been selected.

  In addition, the lottery processing unit 311 also displays a card whose entire card information is not disclosed in advance (on the card lottery screen) like other cards (cards whose card information is partially or wholly disclosed). (Before) is drawn to confirm what the card is. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lottery processing unit 311 does not perform lottery in advance for cards that do not disclose all of the card information, and performs lottery at the time when the user selects, and what card You may decide if there is.

  Note that the presentation unit 312 may change the information disclosed or non-disclosed for at least some of the cards, based on the number of times of lottery. Here, the number of times of lottery is the number of times of lottery in which the user can obtain a predetermined number (for example, three cards) of cards in one lottery as described above.

  For example, in the case of a lottery (step-up) in which the advantage for the user increases as the number of times increases, such as the probability of discharging a high-value card increases as the number of times of lottery increases, the presentation unit 312 determines that the number of times the lottery is performed is large. The number of non-disclosed cards may be reduced as much as possible (that is, the initially non-disclosed cards may be gradually disclosed in each lottery). Alternatively, the presentation unit 312 may increase the amount of part of the information disclosed in the non-disclosure card as the number of times of lottery increases.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a step-up card lottery screen. For example, when the example shown in FIG. 12 is the Nth (N is a natural number) lottery, the non-disclosure information is changed in the N + 1 first lottery, as shown in FIG. For example, the card N that was not disclosed in the Nth lottery is disclosed in the N + 1 first lottery. Further, a portion corresponding to the card C shown in FIG. 1, but rarity only information in N th lottery has not been disclosed, (here, "1600") is a N + 1 th lottery parameters attack power In addition, it is disclosed. As the number of lottery increases, all the card information may be finally disclosed. Also, initially, all cards may be undisclosed. As described above, the more information disclosed according to the number of times of lottery, the easier it is to obtain a desired card, and thus the user's motivation to continue the lottery can be increased.

  Note that the presenting unit 312 determines whether or not to disclose information about at least some of the cards based on the number of cards given to the user (the number of cards associated with the user ID) instead of the number of times of lottery. You may change the information. The increase in the number of cards given to the user corresponds to the increase in the number of times of the lottery described above. Also in this case, similarly, according to the number of cards given to the user, if the information to be disclosed is increased, it becomes easier to obtain a desired card, so that the user's motivation to continue the lottery is increased. can do.

  Further, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a data example of lottery data according to the present embodiment. The lottery data shown in the drawing is different from the data example of the lottery data shown in FIG. 10 in that a disclosure / non-disclosure flag of card information is added. In the present embodiment, the lottery processing unit 311 controls the disclosure / non-disclosure flag of this card information based on the number of times of lottery or the number of cards given to the user (the number of cards associated with the user ID). Then, the lottery result information based on the lottery data including the disclosure / non-disclosure flag of the card information is transmitted to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32. Thereby, in the user terminal 10, a plurality of cards selected by the lottery and route information indicating the association between the plurality of cards are displayed on the card lottery screen based on the lottery result information, and the card information is disclosed. / Card information is displayed / hidden based on the non-disclosure flag.

[Summary of Second Embodiment]
As described above, in the game server 30 (an example of a game device) according to the present embodiment, the presentation unit 312 sets at least a part of the plurality of cards (an example of objects) selected by lottery, Present some or all information as non-disclosure.

  Thereby, the game server 30 includes a card whose information is partially or wholly non-disclosed as an option, so that when the card to which the information is disclosed does not include the card desired by the user, the game server 30 selects the undisclosed card. Since the user can make a desired selection, it is possible to enhance the preference of the lottery in the game.

  For example, the presentation unit 312 sets the number of times of lottery or the number of cards (an example of objects) associated with identification information (for example, user ID) for identifying the user (that is, the number of cards given to the user). Based on this, the information disclosed or the information not disclosed for at least some of the cards may be changed.

  As a result, the more the lottery the game server 30 performs, the more information is disclosed on the card, and the easier it is to obtain the desired card. Therefore, the user's motivation to continue the lottery can be increased.

  The presentation unit 312 discloses the card information of only the first option in the first lottery, the card information of the second option in the second lottery, and the third card in the third lottery. The disclosure step may be changed depending on the number of times of the lottery so that the options up to (in short, all options) are disclosed. That is, as the number of times of lottery increases, the presenting unit 312 says that the options for which the card information is disclosed are only the first option, the second option, and the third option (in short, all options). It may be increased stepwise. As a result, the more the lottery is performed, the more the card information can be seen up to the end of the branch of the reverse tree structure.

  As described above, the plurality of cards (an example of objects) selected by the lottery are divided into a plurality of stages and can be selected according to the order of the preset stages, and the presentation unit 312 determines the number of times of the lottery or the user. Disclosure or non-disclosure of information may be determined for each stage based on the number of cards (that is, the number of cards given to the user) associated with the identification information for identifying (eg, user ID). .

  As a result, the more the lottery is conducted, the more the number of cards for which information is disclosed becomes greater at each stage, and the game server 30 becomes easier to obtain a desired card. Therefore, the user should be more motivated to continue the lottery. You can

  Note that a plurality of cards (an example of objects) selected by lottery may be divided into a large number (for example, 15) of stages. In that case, the cards (options) at all stages cannot be displayed on the card lottery screen at one time, so the presentation unit 312 displays only some stages including the stage at which the user performs a selection operation. The displayed portion may be scrolled as the user selects it. In this case, the non-displayed part of the card may correspond to the non-disclosed card.

  In addition, the presentation unit 312 may increase the information to be undisclosed as the number of times of lottery increases. Instead, the value of the rarity of the drawn cards may be high. By doing so, it is possible to give the user a sense of expectation for the card that can be acquired.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and the characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the routes indicated by the route information do not rejoin routes that have once branched, but a rejoining route may be set. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. The illustrated example is different from the example shown in FIG. 1 in that there is a re-merging route from the card B to the card D and a re-merging route from the card E to the card M. That is, the card M is a route that only goes through the card F in the example shown in FIG. 1, but can also go through the card E in the example shown in FIG. Similarly, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the card D was also routed only via the card A, but in the example shown in FIG. 15, it is also possible to route via the card B. When the re-merging route is provided in this way, there are a plurality of via routes for selecting cards. By doing so, it is possible to widen the range of route selection when the user selects a card.

  Also, in the example shown in FIG. 15, the cards that can be selected are determined for each Nth card, such as the first card, the second card, the third card, etc., but such a selection order is not particularly determined. May be. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen when the selection order is not decided. In the illustrated example, there are a re-merging route from the card D to the card E, a re-merging route from the card B to the card N, and a re-merging route from the card N to the card M. In such a case, for example, regardless of the order of the selection steps of the first, second, and third cards, the card A, the card D, and the card E may be selected in this order. It is also possible to select N and card M in this order. It is also possible to select the card E second (card B, card E in this order) or third (card A, card D, card E in this order). By doing so, the range of route selection when the user selects a card can be further widened.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and the characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that three cards are selected in one lottery, but the lottery may be performed one by one and many times. In that case, for example, the consideration for one lottery may be 1/3. Conversely, the consideration may be increased to increase the number of selectable times. For example, after selecting three cards, you can additionally pay a predetermined fee or consume in-game currency to select the fourth card (or the “fifth card, the sixth card ...”). In that case, if there are no more routes to choose from, you may loop back to the start, in which case the already selected card is the next card skipped. May be selectable.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of card selection on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, after the user selects the card A as the first card, the card D as the second card, and the card I as the third card in order, an additional payment of a predetermined fee or consumption of in-game currency causes the further 1 You can select one. However, since there is no route to be selected after card I, the process returns to the start. In this case, there are three selectable options: card B, card C that has already skipped card A, and card J that has already skipped cards A and D. In the illustrated example, the card C is selected as the fourth card. By doing this, it is possible to acquire all the desired cards depending on the number of times of lottery. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the motivation of the user to perform the lottery. In addition, if the lottery is repeated by additionally paying a predetermined fee or consuming the in-game currency, it is possible to obtain all the drawn cards (for example, all 14 cards).

[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and the characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the association between a plurality of cards displayed on the card lottery screen can be changed will be described. The presentation unit 312 according to the present embodiment changes the association between a plurality of presented cards when a predetermined change condition is satisfied.

  For example, in the card lottery screen shown in FIG. 1, when a predetermined change condition is satisfied, some or all of the 14 cards can be shuffled and rearranged. The predetermined change condition that enables shuffling may be, for example, payment of a predetermined fee, consumption of in-game currency, or the like, which requires consideration. For example, a shuffle button may be displayed on the card lottery screen for executing shuffle by paying a predetermined fee or consuming in-game currency, and shuffling may be performed by the user operating this shuffle button. . The shuffle may be executable according to a preset shuffle executability condition without requiring a consideration. The shuffle executability condition may be a condition that the shuffle can be executed on a frequency with respect to the number of times of lottery (for example, once per five times of lottery), on a predetermined date (for example, once a day), or the like. . Alternatively, shuffling may be enabled at random. Alternatively, the shuffle may be always possible. In addition, a limit may be set on the number of times that shuffling is possible. Further, shuffling may be performed in each of the first option, the second option, and the third option.

  When changing the association between a plurality of cards, the presentation unit 312 may shuffle and change the route information instead of or in addition to shuffling and rearranging the arrangement of the cards. For example, the presentation unit 312 may change only the route information between the cards while keeping the card arrangement, or may change both the card arrangement and the route information between the cards.

  For example, in the card arrangement and route information shown in FIG. 1, when both the card G and the card N are cards desired by the user, only one of them can be acquired. By shuffling and changing, both may be obtained depending on the result of shuffling.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the presentation unit 312 satisfies the predetermined change condition, the presentation unit 312 changes the association between the plurality of presented cards to give the user an expectation that the desired card can be obtained. Can be given. Further, depending on the result of shuffling, the result may be less preferable to the user than before the shuffling. Therefore, the user needs to consider whether or not to perform the shuffle, the timing at which the shuffle is performed, and the like, and it is possible to enhance the preference of the lottery in the game.

[Sixth Embodiment]
Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the game system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and the characteristic processing in the present embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a privilege is awarded when a user passes a specific route when selecting a card.
FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the illustrated example, a lottery ticket is set as a privilege on the route from the card B to the card E. A recovery item is set as a privilege on the route from the card C to the card H. The granting unit 315 also has a function as a privilege granting unit, and is set on a route when a plurality of cards are sequentially selected via a route in which the privilege is set based on a selection operation by the user. Grant the user a privilege. The privilege is equivalent to, for example, a bonus, and may be various items such as a lottery ticket or a recovery item, or is not limited thereto and may have some merit. For example, the privilege may be such that the consideration for performing the lottery is halved, non-disclosed card information is disclosed, and shuffle right is granted.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a data example of privilege data according to the present embodiment. The privilege data shown in the figure associates a route ID, route information, and a privilege. The route ID is identification information for identifying the route. The route information stores the route information of the route ID (option ID of the cards connected by the route information). The privilege stores information (for example, an item ID in the case of an item) indicating the privilege set for only the route for which the privilege is set. The privilege data is stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 in addition to the lottery data. When the privilege selection unit 315 refers to the privilege data and the selection order of the cards selected by the user in response to the user's selection operation is through the route for which the privilege is set, the grant unit 315 recognizes the privilege set for the route. Give.

  As described above, the route information (an example of association information) is information indicating a route (route) from one selected card (an example of an object) to the next selectable card, and the grant unit 315 (privilege grant). When a plurality of cards are sequentially selected via a specific route, the section gives the privilege set on the specific route. As a result, the game server 30 not only allows the user to sequentially select the cards to be given out of the plurality of cards selected by the lottery, but also gives the privilege according to the route at the time of selection, so that the lottery of the game Can be increased.
