Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[Game overview]
First, an outline of an example of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a game played by using an object (game object) possessed by the user, and is, for example, a battle game (competition game) in which an opponent is played against. The object is, for example, a card corresponding to each of a plurality of characters. A character is a person, an animal, an object (for example, a vehicle) or the like appearing in a game. A card is an entity that represents a character appearing in a game, and is an example of an object that is recognized by a user by an image (text, still image, moving image, or the like). Specifically, the card is a card representing a character who plays against an enemy character who is an opponent in the game, and is displayed as an image on the game screen.

The object is not limited to the card, but may be another object such as a medal or a figure representing the character itself, or may be displayed as an image on the game screen like the card. In addition to the card indicating the character, the card may also include a card indicating a weapon or armor that has an effect on the character's attack or defense in the battle. The user also 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 the possessed cards.

Cards possessed by the user as cards that can be used for play (hereinafter, also referred to as "possessed cards") are those that are preset as possessed cards as initial settings at the start of play and those that have been set to possessed cards since the start of play. Some can be obtained as the game progresses. The default possession card is often insufficient to advance the game in an advantageous manner, and how good the card can be obtained by the user after the start of play greatly affects the progress of the user's game. For example, a card that can be acquired after the start of play is given to the user as a reward based on winning the battle, or is given to the user by performing a card lottery (so-called gacha).

[Deck configuration]
The user can select a character card to be used for the battle from a plurality of possessed cards. For example, the user can construct a deck by selecting a preset number of cards (for example, 10 cards) from a plurality of possessed cards as a deck to be used for a battle. A deck is a unit of a group of cards up to a preset number of cards (for example, 10 cards). A battle is played using one deck in which the card selected by the user is set and the deck in which the opponent's card is set.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a deck according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, one deck DK1 is divided into a plurality of groups. Here, the deck DK1 is divided into rows of cards (an example of a group) consisting of a set of two cards, and has a configuration in which five rows of first to fifth rows are arranged. A maximum of two cards can be set in each row, one in the upper row and one in the lower row, and a maximum of 10 cards in the total of all rows (that is, in one deck) can be set as cards to be used in the battle. The user can build a deck by setting the selected card at the arrangement position of each card composed of this row. The card set in the upper row may have a role as an avant-garde, and the card set in the lower row may have a role as a rearguard.

Basically, the same card cannot be set in one deck more than once, so when setting 10 cards in one deck, the user must have at least 10 cards. .. In addition, it may be a specification that there are cards that can be set in duplicate in one deck.

In the illustrated deck DK1, card A is in the upper row of the first row, card B is in the lower row, card C is in the upper row of the second row, card D is in the lower row, card E is in the upper row of the third row, and card F is in the lower row. It is shown that the card G is set in the upper row, the card H is set in the lower row, the card I is set in the upper row of the fifth row, and the card J is set in the lower row, respectively.

In addition, it may be a specification that at least one card must be set in each row of the deck, or a specification that all cards (for example, both cards) must be set in each row of the deck. .. In addition, it may be a specification that allows a match even if a row in which no card is set is included.

Further, the upper limit of the number of cards that can be set in each row is not limited to two, and may be three or more. Further, the upper limit of the number of cards that can be set in each row may be different, and a row in which only one card can be set may be included. Further, there is no need to set an upper limit on the number of cards that can be set in each row. However, even if the maximum number of cards is not set for each row, the total number of cards that can be set in one deck may be limited to a preset number of cards (for example, 10 cards). Instead of limiting the total number of cards that can be set in one deck, a cost limit may be set. The cost is one of the parameters set for each card, and is a value required when setting a card in a deck or playing a specific game (for example, a sub-game provided at an event). .. Since this cost is consumed when setting cards in the deck, it is possible to prevent unlimited cards from being set in the deck by setting a cost limit.

Further, the number of decks that can be set by the user may be one or a plurality. For example, when a plurality of decks can be set by the user, a deck to be used for the battle may be selected from the plurality of decks according to the opponent.

[Competition specifications]
Similarly, the opponent's deck also has five rows of cards consisting of a set of two cards, and in a battle using a deck set by the user and the opponent's deck, the same row of each deck is used. A match (row match) is held. That is, each row has a preset arrangement or order (here, first to fifth columns), and one-to-one battles are performed between the arrangements or orders.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a battle by a row battle according to the present embodiment. In the illustrated example, the deck DK1 is a deck in which cards are set by a user (a user who plays using the deck DK1). On the other hand, deck DK2 is an opponent's deck. The opponent may be another user different from the user who plays using the deck DK1, or may be an NPC (Non Player Character). That is, the opponent's deck may be a deck in which cards are set by the opponent's user, or may be a deck in which cards are set by computer processing without the intervention of the user's operation.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the deck DK1 set by the user corresponds to the deck DK1 shown in FIG. 1, with card A and card B in the first row, card C and card D in the second row, and third row. Card E and card F, card G and card H in the fourth row, and card I and card J in the fifth row are set as a set of two cards. On the other hand, the opponent's deck DK2 has card K and card L in the first row, card M and card N in the second row, card O and card P in the third row, card Q and card R in the fourth row, and the first. Card S and card T are set in a set of two in five rows. In this match, the first row of deck DK1 and the first row of deck DK2 face each other, the second row of deck DK1 and the second row of deck DK2 play against each other, and the third row of deck DK1 and the first row of deck DK2 The third row will play against each other, the fourth row of deck DK1 and the fourth row of deck DK2 will play against each other, and the fifth row of deck DK1 and the fifth row of deck DK2 will play against each other. That is, the characters of a set of two cards set in each row form a tag, and a row battle (tag battle) is performed between the same rows of each deck.

Each card has parameters such as attack power and defense power, and the attacking side uses the attack power parameter, and the defending side uses the defense power parameter to execute the battle. The battle is performed asynchronously, and the person who set up the battle is the attacking side, and the person who set up the battle is the defending side. In addition, it may be a battle in which the attacking side and the defending side alternate with each other. Here, asynchronous means that the battle is not performed while the opponents operate each other, but the battle is performed between the preset decks.

Specifically, in a row battle, the total value of the attack power parameters of the two cards on the attacking side in a certain row and the defense power of the two cards on the opponent side (defending side) in the same row as that row. The match result of each row match is determined based on the comparison with the total value of the parameters of. This row battle is performed from the first to the fifth rows, and the victory or defeat of the battle between the deck DK1 and the opponent's deck DK2 by the user (that is, the battle between the user and the opponent) is determined based on the battle result of each row battle. For example, the one with the most wins in each row (3 or more in this example) wins the match.

In this way, the outcome of the match between the user and the opponent is determined by the row match for each row and the number of wins, so whether to strengthen the 5 rows evenly or to make sure to aim for 3 wins and intensively strengthen the 3 rows. It will be necessary to formulate a strategy such as. For example, even with the same 10 cards, there is a possibility that the victory or defeat will differ depending on the arrangement when setting in the deck. In addition, since the results of the battle in each row are obtained as compared with the case where the battle is performed in the entire deck, the strength of each card can be visually confirmed, and the presence of each card can be increased.

When a user wins a match between an opponent and a user, a reward such as points is given to the winning user, but the reward content may be changed depending on the number of wins in a row match even with the same victory. For example, if the row match has 3 wins, 3 points may be given, and if the row match has 5 wins, 10 points may be given.

[Collaboration effect]
Further, in the battle, the victory or defeat may be determined by a value that takes into account the influence of the cooperation effect in addition to the total value of the parameters such as the attack power and the defense power of the cards set in the deck as described above. The cooperation effect is an effect that is activated by a combination of cards set in the deck, and is, for example, a point for adding a value of an attack power parameter. Similarly, the defender also has a point to add the value of the defense power parameter as a cooperation effect.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the cooperation effect according to the present embodiment. In the illustrated example, among the cards set in the deck DK1, the cooperation effect is activated by the combination of three cards of card E, card G, and card I. As in this example, the combination of linkage effects is valid not only for cards that are set in the same row but also for cards that are set in different rows. That is, if the cards set in one deck have a combination of cooperation effects, the cooperation effect is activated regardless of the division of the column in which the card is set. In addition, the target of the cooperation effect (invocation destination) is not related to the column division. The destination of the cooperation effect may be the combination of cards that triggered the activation, or it may be other than the combination of cards. For example, some have an effect on the entire deck. Alternatively, some of the cards set in the deck are effective only for cards with specific attributes. There are also some that have the effect of lowering the offensive and defensive parameters of the opponent's deck. In addition, some of these effects occur with a predetermined probability. In this way, row battles are played in row units, but the coordination effect affects the entire deck, not row units. Therefore, there is no restriction on the column division in the combination of cards that activates the cooperation effect, and a degree of freedom can be given.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the card E, the card G, and the card I are arranged side by side, but the cooperation effect is activated even if they are not arranged side by side. The cooperation effect is activated if there is a combination of cards that is an activation condition regardless of the position in the deck DK1. Contrary to the above, even if all the combinations of cards that activate the cooperation effect are available unless the arrangement is specific, the cooperation effect may not be activated. For example, there may be a combination of cooperation that does not activate unless at least one is arranged in all rows. In addition, the activation condition may be that the cards of the combination that activates the cooperation effect are arranged adjacent to each other. In this way, by adding the card placement condition to the activation condition of the cooperation effect, it is possible to increase the strategic nature of the placement when the user sets the card.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 3, an example in which the cooperation effect is activated by a combination of three cards has been described, but the number of combinations is not limited to three. Further, the content of the cooperation effect may differ depending on the number of combinations. For example, the greater the number of combinations, the greater the effect may be triggered.

[Effect of boost line]
The user can also set a boost line in a particular row in the deck that produces an effect that affects the outcome of the match. By being set to the boost line, parameters such as the attack power and defense power of the cards set in that row will increase. For example, in the row set as the boost line, there is an effect that parameters such as attack power and defense power are increased by 1.5 times. The effect of this boost line is further added to the parameters after the activation of the above-mentioned cooperation effect.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a setting example of the boost line according to the present embodiment. In the illustrated example, the third row of the first to fifth rows of the deck DK1 is set as the boost line. Further, as in the example shown in FIG. 3, the three cards of card E, card G, and card I are a combination in which the cooperation effect is activated. As a result, in the third row set in the boost line, the effect of the boost line is applied to the card F, the cooperation effect is applied to the card E, and the effect of the boost line is further applied.

For example, the user may set a boost line to compensate for the weakness in the row in which the card having weak attack power, defense power, etc. is set. Alternatively, the user may set a boost line in order to more surely win the row battle against the row in which the card having strong offensive power, defensive power, etc. is set. In this way, the setting of the boost line is a factor that broadens the range of the user's strategy.

The boost line can be set for the opponent's deck as well. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the example in which the boost line is set in one of the rows in the deck has been described, but the specification may be such that the boost line can be set in a plurality of rows. Further, when the boost lines can be set in a plurality of columns, a plurality of boost lines having different effects may be set. In this case, the user can increase the strategy such as which of the plurality of boost lines is effective in which column.

Also, if the boost line wins a row match, a special reward may be given. For example, in addition to the reward according to the number of wins in the row battle, the reward may be added when the boost line wins. Further, when the victory or defeat is determined by the number of wins in the row match for each row, the number of wins may be increased by counting the number of wins to 2 wins if the winner is on the boost line.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the functional configuration 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 configuration of the user terminal 10 and the game server 30 according to the present embodiment. In this figure, the same components as those in FIGS. 5 to 7 are designated by the same reference numerals.

[Configuration of user terminal 10]
First, the functional configuration of the user terminal 10 will be described. The user terminal 10 includes a terminal control unit 110 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 11 executing a game control program stored in the storage unit 15. For example, the terminal control unit 110 includes an input reception unit 111, a data transfer unit 112, and a display control unit 113.

The input receiving unit 111 receives the user's operation on the input unit 13. For example, the input receiving unit 111 receives the operation of the user who plays the game screen displayed on the display unit 14 via the input unit 13. Further, the input reception unit 111 transmits the operation information based on the operation of the received user to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12.

The data transfer unit 112 transmits the operation information received by the input reception unit 111 to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12. Further, the data transfer unit 112 acquires a game image or the like of the game played on the user terminal 10 from the game server 30 via the communication unit 12. The display control unit 113 causes the display unit 14 to display the game image acquired by the data transfer unit 112 from the game server 30.

[Configuration of game server 30]
Next, the configuration of the game server 30 will be described. The game server 30 includes a communication unit 32, a storage unit 35, and a server control unit 310. The server control unit 310 has a functional configuration realized by the CPU 31 executing a program stored in the storage unit 35, and controls each unit of the game server 30. For example, the server control unit 310 transmits a game image displayed on the game screen of a game played by the user on the user terminal 10 to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32, thereby transmitting the game image to the display unit 14 of the user terminal 10. Display it. Further, the server control unit 310 acquires the operation information of the user playing on the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32, advances the game based on the operation information, and updates the game image to be displayed on the user terminal 10. .. Further, the server control unit 310 acquires user information and the like of the user who plays on the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32, stores the user information in the storage unit 35, and manages the information. The configuration of the battle processing of the battle game by the server control unit 310 will be described in detail later.

Here, various data 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 possession card data storage unit 353, and a deck data storage unit 354.

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 user ID, password, user name, user level based on the progress of the user's game, battle victory / defeat, opponent history information, and the like as user information. Will be done.

The card master data storage unit 352 stores the master data (card master data) of the 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. Card information such as card ID, usage, card name, card image, rarity, attribute, cooperation, and character parameter is associated with the illustrated card master data.

The card ID is identification information that can be identified for each type of card. For example, as a card type, a card having a different card name or a card having the same card name but a different rarity is identified as a different type of card. The usage is classified according to the usage of the card in the game, and a character, a weapon, an armor, or the like is set as what each card indicates. The card name is the name of each card, such as a character, a weapon, and armor. The card image is an image showing at least a part of the character, weapon, armor, and other aspects (figure, shape, name, etc.) of each card, and is, for example, an illustration drawn on the card. Rarity is an index showing the rarity of each card, and is divided into five stages of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in order from the lowest to the highest. The higher the rarity of the card, the higher the value to the user, and the higher the offensive and defensive values or the higher the upper limit. Users are more likely to take advantage of the battle by using cards with high rarity. 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 attributes are associated with fire, water, or wood, which are superior or inferior to each other. For example, a fire character can do a lot of damage when a water character attacks, a water character can do a lot of damage when a tree character attacks, and a tree character can do a lot of damage. Can do a lot of damage when attacking.

For cooperation, a cooperation skill that activates the cooperation effect by combining multiple cards is set. As described above with reference to FIG. 3, for example, when there are a predetermined number or more (for example, 3 or more) of cards having the same cooperation skill among a plurality of cards set in the deck, the three cards are used. The cooperation effect corresponding to the cooperation skill set on the card is activated. The cooperation skill is associated with the conditions for activating the cooperation effect and the content of the effect. The conditions for activating the cooperation effect include information regarding the number of cards of the same cooperation skill (for example, activation with three or more cards), conditions regarding the arrangement relationship (for example, being arranged side by side), and the like. The content of the effect is the number of points to which the parameters of attack power and defense power are added. The information set for cooperation is not limited to the cooperation skill, and may be any information as long as it indicates the combination of cards that activate the cooperation effect.

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

The possessed card data storage unit 353 stores possessed card data for managing the cards possessed by each user. For example, the possessed card data includes 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, the attribute, the cooperation, the character parameter, and the like. Is associated. 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 they have a plurality of cards, different serial numbers are associated with each of them. Further, when the card is given to the user, the value of the master data of the card (initial value stored in the card master data storage unit 352) is stored in the possessed card data. Then, as the game progresses, the value of the character parameter of the possessed card data is updated at any time.

The deck data storage unit 354 stores the deck data of the deck used by the user for the battle. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a data example of deck data stored in the deck data storage unit 354. The illustrated deck data includes a user ID, a deck ID of the user's deck, a column ID of a column constituting the deck, a card ID (setting card ID) of a card set in the column, and a boost line. Is associated with the setting. The deck ID is identification information for identifying the deck. If the user can organize only one type of deck, one type of deck ID is associated with the user ID of one user, but if the user can organize multiple types of decks, one person A plurality of types of deck IDs are associated with the user ID of the user. If the user can organize multiple types of decks, the user will select the deck to be used for the battle from the plurality of types of decks that have been organized.

The column ID is identification information for identifying each column of the first to fifth columns of each deck. Since a maximum of two cards can be set in each row, two slots (slot 1 and slot 2) in which one card can be set are associated with the setting card ID. The card IDs of the cards set in each row are stored in slots 1 and 2 of the setting card IDs. For example, the row IDs of the first to fifth rows of the deck DK1 shown in FIG. 1 are L1 to L5, and the card IDs of the cards arranged (set) in the upper row of each row in FIG. Each of the card ID of the card (set) is stored in each of slot 1 and slot 2 shown in FIG. A value indicating "null" is stored in the slot in which the card is not set.

In the boost line setting, information for identifying the row set as the boost line among the first to fifth rows of each deck is set. In the illustrated example, "1" is set in the column set as the boost line, and "0" is set in the other columns. For example, as an initial value, "0" is set for all columns, and when a boost line is set by the user, "1" is set for the column in which the boost line is set.

Next, the configuration of the battle processing of the battle game by the server control unit 310 will be described. The server control unit 310 includes an operation information acquisition unit 311, a deck organization unit 312, a boost line setting unit 313, a battle execution unit 314, a win / loss determination unit 315, and a display control unit 316.

The operation information acquisition unit 311 acquires operation information based on the user's operation on the user terminal 10 from the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32 or the like. The server control unit 310 executes various processes of the game based on the user's operation based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 311.

The deck organization unit 312 performs a deck organization process that can be used by the user in a battle based on the user's operation. For example, a user-selected card is set in the deck based on the user's operation on the deck organization screen in which the card can be set in the deck. Here, the deck organization screen is, for example, as shown in the deck configuration example shown in FIG. 1, 10 slots in which cards can be set in one deck (in FIG. 1, cards A to J are arranged respectively). The screens) are two screens arranged one above the other in each of the first to fifth columns. Since one card can be set in one slot, a maximum of two cards can be set in each row, and a maximum of ten cards can be set in total of one deck DK1. In the example shown in FIG. 1, cards A to J are set in 10 slots, but the unset slots are displayed blank so that it can be visually recognized that no card is set. Or "Not set" is displayed. When the user operates (tap operation, etc.) on the slot, the card options that can be set are displayed, and the deck organization unit 312 is selected by performing the operation of selecting the card (tap operation, etc.) by the user. Set the card in the slot. Further, the deck knitting unit 312 can change the setting of the slot to a newly selected card by performing the same operation on the already set slot. Specifically, for example, the deck organization unit 312 stores the card ID of the card selected for each slot in each row of each deck in the deck data setting card ID stored in the deck data storage unit 354. To do.

The boost line setting unit 313 sets any one of the first to fifth rows in the deck as a boost line based on the user's instruction. For example, on the deck organization screen described above, an operation button for setting any one of the first to fifth columns as a boost line is displayed, and the boost line setting unit 313 can operate the operation button by the user. Based on this, the selected column from the first column to the fifth column is set as the boost line. Specifically, when the boost line setting unit 313 sets the selected column as the boost line, the boost line setting of the deck data stored in the deck data storage unit 354 is set to "1".

The battle execution unit 314 performs a battle process between a deck in which a card is set by the user (for example, see deck DK1 in FIG. 2) and a deck in which an opponent's card is set (for example, see deck DK2 in FIG. 2). Execute. Specifically, in the battle execution unit 314, the first to fifth rows of the deck in which the card is set by the user and the first to fifth rows of the deck in which the opponent's card is set are arranged in rows. Execute the battle process to play against. For example, the battle execution unit 314 executes a row battle between the rows based on a preset combination of the rows of each battle. As an example, as described with reference to FIG. 2, the battle execution unit 314 executes a battle process in which the same rows of the respective decks perform a one-to-one row battle.

It should be noted that the battle is not limited to the same row of each deck, but other preset rows (for example, the first row of deck DK1 and the second row of deck DK2 and the second row of deck DK1 shown in FIG. 2). It may be a match between a row and the third row of the deck DK2, ..., The fifth row of the deck DK1 and the first row of the deck DK2, etc.). Further, the battle is not limited to one-on-one battles in each row, and the winning row may be a winning battle (remaining winning battle) in which the winning row remains in the next battle.

In a row battle, for example, the battle execution unit 314 has a total value of the attack power parameters of the cards set in the attacking side row and a total value of the defense power parameters of the cards set in the defending side row. Based on the comparison with, the match result of each row match is determined. For example, the battle execution unit 314 determines that the attacking row wins when the total value of the attack power parameters is higher than the total value of the defense power parameters. On the contrary, the battle execution unit 314 determines that the defending column wins when the total value of the defense power parameters is higher than the total value of the attack power parameters.

In addition, the battle execution unit 314 determines the victory or defeat by a value in consideration of the influence of the above-mentioned cooperation effect in the battle processing of the row battle. For example, the battle execution unit 314 sets a plurality of rows of decks in which the cards are set by the user and the opponent's cards based on the combination of cards set in the plurality of rows (combination that activates the cooperation effect). The battle process is executed so as to produce an effect that affects the battle result for at least one row battle among the row battles with a plurality of rows. The effect that affects the battle result for a row battle is, for example, an effect that changes the parameters used in the battle. Specifically, for example, there are points for adding the value of the attack power parameter set in each column, points for adding the value of the defense power parameter, and the like.

For example, the battle execution unit 314 refers to the card information set in each row in the deck with reference to the cooperation of the possessed card data stored in the possessed card data storage unit 353, and satisfies the condition for activating the cooperation effect. Determine if there is a combination of cards. Specifically, the battle execution unit 314 sets the conditions for activating the cooperation effect when there are a predetermined number or more (for example, 3 or more) of cards having the same cooperation skill among the plurality of cards set in the deck. It is determined that there is a combination of cards to be satisfied, and the victory or defeat is determined by adding the influence of the cooperation effect to the values of the attack power and defense power parameters set in each row. On the other hand, the battle execution unit 314 is a card that satisfies the condition for activating the cooperation effect when there are not more than a predetermined number (for example, 3 or more) of cards having the same cooperation skill among the plurality of cards set in the deck. It is judged that there is no combination, and the victory or defeat is judged by the values of the attack power and defense power parameters set in each column.

In addition, the battle execution unit 314 executes the battle process so as to cause an effect that affects the battle result in the row in which the boost line is set among the plurality of rows of the deck in which the card is set by the user. Similarly, the battle execution unit 314 executes the battle process so as to cause an effect that affects the battle result in the row in which the boost line is set among the plurality of rows of the deck in which the opponent's card is set. The effect that affects the battle result is, for example, an effect that parameters such as attack power and defense power are increased by 1.5 times in the row set in the boost line. In addition, the battle execution unit 314 further adds the effect of this boost line to the parameters after the activation of the cooperation effect.

The victory / defeat determination unit 315 determines the victory / defeat (win / loss between decks) between the user and the opponent based on the battle result between the rows by the battle execution unit 314. For example, the win / loss determination unit 315 sets the number of wins / losses between the user and the opponent based on the number of wins / losses in the row-to-row battle (the number of wins / losses between each of the plurality of rows on the user side and each of the plurality of rows on the opponent side). Win or lose is confirmed. Specifically, the victory / defeat determination unit 315 wins the player with the largest number of wins in each row (for example, 3 or more wins out of 5). In addition, the victory / defeat determination unit 315 may give a reward such as points to the side that has won the battle between the user and the opponent. In this case, the victory / defeat determination unit 315 may change the reward content depending on the number of wins in the row battle even if the victory is the same.

The display control unit 316 transmits a game image based on the progress of the game via the communication unit 32, so that the display unit 14 of the user terminal 10 displays the game image played by the user. The game image is for moving to a card lottery screen for performing a card lottery in the game, a deck organization screen described above, a battle screen for selecting an opponent and an opponent's deck and performing a battle, or each screen thereof. It is a game image to be displayed on the selection screen or the like.

For example, when the user selects an opponent, the display control unit 316 refers to the user data stored in the user data storage unit 351 and selects at least a part of the users who are playing this game. Display as an opponent's choice. The users extracted as options may be randomly selected from all users, may be randomly selected from users with the same user level, or may be associated with a predetermined user in the game. If so (for example, if associated as a friendship), it may be part or all of the associated user. When a user's operation (for example, tap operation) is performed on any of the opponent's options, the display control unit 316 refers to the deck data stored in the deck data storage unit 354 and refers to the opponent's choices. Display deck information (for example, pop-up display).

When displaying the information of the opponent's deck, the display control unit 316 may display the hint information of the opponent's deck. Here, the hint information is, for example, information in which the progress or result of a battle can be inferred in a row battle. For example, the display control unit 316 refers to the deck data stored in the deck data storage unit 354 and the possessed card data stored in the possessed card data storage unit 353, and a plurality of opponent's cards are set. You may want to display at least some of the information about the column.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a display example of hint information of the opponent's deck. In the illustrated example, information on some of the cards set in a plurality of rows in the opponent's deck DK2 (only the upper card O in the third row and the upper card S in the fifth row) is displayed. It shows that it has been done. No card information is displayed for other cards. The card information displayed as hint information is a part or all of the card name, card image, rarity, attribute, cooperation skill, and parameters such as attack power and defense power. In addition, the display control unit 316 also displays in which column the boost line is set. This information will give you a hint as to which user to choose as your opponent. Alternatively, based on this hint, the user can also rearrange the arrangement of cards set in his / her deck and play against each other.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of displaying hint information and the information to be displayed are examples, and are not limited to this. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, the information of two cards is displayed, but the information of any number of cards may be displayed, the information of cards is not displayed, and the boost line is in which column. It may be displayed whether it is set.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 11, the card information of the upper card O in the third row and the card S in the upper row of the fifth row is displayed, but the place where the information is displayed may be predetermined. , May be randomly selected each time. Alternatively, the user may be able to set the displayed location.

In addition, the display control unit 316 displays an image showing the battle situation with the selected opponent, an image showing the battle result after the battle is completed, and the like on the battle screen. The image showing the battle situation is, for example, a production image showing a state in which the character of the card set in the user's deck and the character of the card set in the opponent's deck are fighting. The display control unit 316 may omit at least a part of the image showing the battle situation and shift to the image showing the battle result by the user's operation or the like. In addition, the image showing the battle result is the result of the row battle (win, lose, or draw, row) of each row by the battle execution unit 314, the victory or defeat (win, lose, or draw, etc.) determined by the win / loss determination unit 315. It is an image showing the value of the attack power for each row and the value of the defense power for each row), the reward given by the battle, and the like.

[Operation of deck formation process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the operation of the deck formation process executed by the server control unit 310 of the game server 20 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the deck formation process according to the present embodiment.

Based on the user's operation on the user terminal 10 (the operation of instructing the transition to the deck organization screen), the server control unit 310 displays an image of the deck organization screen on which the card can be set on the deck on the user terminal 10. (Step S100).

Next, the server control unit 310 determines whether or not the user has performed an operation to switch decks on the deck organization screen (step S102). Here, the operation of switching decks is, for example, an operation of switching which deck is to be organized when the user can organize a plurality of decks, for example, "deck 1", "deck 2", and "deck". When it is possible to organize five types of decks, "3", "Deck 4", and "Deck 5", the user operates (for example, tap operation) on the tabs and operation buttons corresponding to each of the five types of decks. ), You can switch to the screen where you can organize the operated deck.

If it is determined in step S102 that the deck switching operation has been performed (YES), the server control unit 310 switches to the deck operated by the user based on the operation information acquired from the user terminal (step S104), and steps. Return to the processing of S100.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S102 that the operation for switching decks has not been performed (NO), the server control unit 310 determines whether or not the operation for selecting the end of deck formation has been performed on the deck formation screen. Determine (step S106). The operation of selecting the end of the deck formation is, for example, an operation for the "end" button displayed on the deck formation screen or the operation for the "return" button to the previous screen (for example, a tap operation).

If it is determined in step S106 that the operation of selecting the end of deck formation has been performed (YES), the server control unit 310 ends the deck formation process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106 that the operation for selecting the end of deck formation has not been performed (NO), whether or not the server control unit 310 has performed an operation for selecting a slot in the deck being organized. Is determined (step S108). The operation of selecting a slot is, for example, an operation (for example, a tap operation) for any of the 10 slots in which the cards A to J are already set in the example shown in FIG. In the initial state, none of the slots are set.

If it is determined in step S106 that the slot selection operation has not been performed (NO), the server control unit 310 returns to the process of step S100. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S106 that the operation to select the slot has been performed (YES), the server control unit 310 displays an image of the card selection screen on which the card options that can be set in the slot are displayed on the user terminal 10. Display it. For example, the server control unit 310 refers to the possessed card data stored in the possessed card data storage unit 353, and refers to some or all of the cards possessed by the user that are not set in the same deck. It is displayed as a card option that can be set in the slot (step S110).

Next, the server control unit 310 determines whether or not an operation (for example, a tap operation) for the "cancel" button displayed on the card selection screen has been performed (step S112). When it is determined that the operation for the "Cancel" button has been performed (YES), the server control unit 310 exits the card selection screen, returns to the process of step S108, and has the operation of selecting a slot on the deck formation screen. Is determined.

When the operation for the "Cancel" button is not performed in step S112 (NO) and the operation of selecting a card from the options (for example, tap operation) is performed on the card selection screen (step S114), the server control unit 310 moves the server control unit 310. The selected card is set in the slot (the slot selected in step S108) (step S116). Specifically, the server control unit 310 updates the data of the deck data setting card ID stored in the deck data storage unit 354. At first (before deck formation), the server control unit 310 displays all the slots as unset, and as the cards are set, the set slots display the information of the set cards. ..

Further, when the operation of selecting the column to be set as the boost line from the first to fifth columns is performed on the deck organization screen, the server control unit 310 causes the selected column (for example, the third column. See FIG. 3). ) Is set as the boost line (step S118). Then, the process returns to the process of step S100.

When selecting a column to be set as a boost line, for example, on the deck organization screen, a "boost line selection" button for selecting as a boost line is displayed in each of the first to fifth columns. When the user performs an operation (for example, a tap operation) on the "boost line selection" button corresponding to any of the columns, the server control unit 310 sets the operated column as the boost line. For example, in the case of a specification in which only one boost line can be set in the deck, each row is set exclusively as a boost line. In addition, the columns set in the boost line are displayed in a display mode so as to be distinguishable from other columns. For example, a column set as a boost line is displayed in a different color from other columns, is displayed with a mark or frame that is not found in other columns, or is a boost line. Text information or an image indicating the above may be displayed.

[Operation of battle processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the operation of the battle processing executed by the server control unit 310 of the game server 30 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the battle process according to the present embodiment.

Based on the user's operation on the user terminal 10 (the operation of instructing the transition to the battle screen), the server control unit 310 displays an image of the opponent selection screen on which the choices of other users who are candidates for the opponent are displayed. Displayed on the user terminal 10 (step S200). When an operation (for example, a tap operation) is performed by the user for any of the opponent's options, the server control unit 310 is operated with reference to the deck data stored in the deck data storage unit 354. Display information on the deck of choice (for example, pop-up display). For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the server control unit 310 displays at least a part of the information about the plurality of columns in which the opponent's cards are set as hint information when the user selects the opponent.

Next, the server control unit 310 determines whether or not the opponent has been determined (step S202). For example, on the opponent selection screen, an "opponent determination" button is displayed corresponding to each of the options of other users who are candidates for the opponent. Then, when the user performs an operation (for example, a tap operation) on any of the "opponent determination" buttons, the server control unit 310 determines that the opponent has been determined (YES), and the operation " Determine the option corresponding to the "Determine opponent" button as an opponent. Then, the process proceeds to step S204.

On the other hand, if no operation (for example, tap operation) is performed by the user for any of the "determine opponent" buttons, the server control unit 310 determines that the opponent has not been determined (NO), and continues the opponent. The image of the selection screen is displayed on the user terminal 10 (step S200).

When it is determined in step S202 that the opponent has been determined (YES), the server control unit 310 refers to the deck data stored in the deck data storage unit 354 and provides information about the deck used by the user himself / herself in the battle. Displayed on the user terminal 10. The information about the deck is the information of the cards set in each row of the decks formed in the deck formation process shown in FIG. If multiple decks are organized, a "Deck selection" button that allows you to select the deck to be used for the battle will be displayed, and you can switch the deck to use by operating the "Deck selection" button. it can. Based on the user's operation (for example, tap operation) on the "deck selection" button, the server control unit 310 selects the deck to be used for the battle (step S204).

Next, the server control unit 310 determines whether or not the battle start instruction has been given (step S206). For example, when the user performs an operation indicating an instruction to start a battle (for example, a tap operation on the “start battle” button) (YES), the server control unit 310 proceeds to the process of step S208. On the other hand, if the user does not perform an operation indicating an instruction to start the battle (for example, a tap operation on the "start battle" button) (NO), the deck can be selected again, and the server control unit 310 "selects the deck". The deck to be used for the battle is selected based on the user's operation on the button (for example, tap operation) (step S204).

When an operation indicating a battle start instruction is performed in step S206, the server control unit 310 receives information on the cards set in each row of the opponent's deck selected in step S200, and the deck selected in step S204. With reference to the card information set in each column of, if the conditions for the cooperation effect are satisfied, parameters such as attack power and defense power are changed based on the cooperation effect (step S208).

Further, the server control unit 310 changes parameters such as the attack power and the defense power of the cards set in the row set in the boost line (step S210).

Next, the server control unit 310 takes into account the parameter changes in steps S208 and S210, and based on the parameters of the attack power and defense power of the cards set in each row, the battle result between the rows of each row is obtained. judge. For example, the server control unit 310 determines that the attacking column wins when the total value of the attack power parameters is higher than the total value of the defense power parameters. On the contrary, when the total value of the defense power parameters is higher than the total value of the attack power parameters, the server control unit 310 determines that the defending column wins (step S212).

Then, the server control unit 310 determines the victory or defeat between the user and the opponent (win or loss between the decks) based on the battle result between the rows determined in step S210. For example, the server control unit 310 determines the number of wins and losses between the user and the opponent based on the number of wins and losses in each row of the row battles (the number of wins and losses between each of the plurality of rows on the user side and each of the plurality of rows on the opponent side). To confirm. Specifically, the server control unit 310 wins the one with the largest number of wins in the row battle in each row (for example, 3 wins or more out of 5 battles) (step S214).

The victory / defeat determination unit 315 may give a reward such as points to the side that has won the battle between the user and the opponent. In this case, the victory / defeat determination unit 315 may change the reward content depending on the number of wins in the row battle even if the victory is the same.

[Summary of Embodiment]
As described above, the game server 30 (an example of a game device) according to the present embodiment includes a battle execution unit 314 and a win / loss determination unit 315. The battle execution unit 314 includes a plurality of rows (an example of a first group) including a row (an example of a group) in which a plurality of cards (an example of an object) can be set by the user, and one or more cards of the opponent, respectively. A battle process is executed in which a plurality of columns (an example of the second group) including the columns included in the columns compete against each other. The victory / defeat determination unit 315 determines the victory / defeat between the user and the opponent based on the battle result between the rows by the battle execution unit 314. Then, the battle execution unit 314 includes a plurality of rows including a row in which a plurality of cards can be set by the user (an example of the first group), and a plurality of rows including a row in which one or more cards of the opponent are included. The battle process is executed so as to cause an effect that affects the battle result on the boost lines (an example of a specific group) set in each of the columns (an example of the second group). The effect that affects the battle result is, for example, an effect that changes the parameters used in the battle.

As a result, not only the type (strength, etc.) of the cards to be set, but also what kind of card combination is arranged in which row of the game server 30 is a factor that affects the victory or defeat with the opponent. The bargaining element that is conscious of the other party increases, and the strategic nature can be enhanced. For example, a card with weak attack power or defense power can be set in the boost line to make up for the weakness, or conversely, a card with strong attack power or defense power can be set to make it stronger. You can broaden your strategy. In addition, since the results of the battle in each row are obtained as compared with the case where the battle is performed in the entire deck, the strength of each card can be visually confirmed, and the presence of each card can be increased.

In the present embodiment, an example in which decks are divided by a plurality of columns as columns divided by a plurality of groups has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The group is not limited to a row, but may be a team, a group, or the like. In addition, each deck is regarded as a group, and the victory or defeat between the user and the opponent is determined based on the result of the battle between the user's multiple decks and the opponent's multiple decks. May be good. In this case, the specific group may be a specific deck (for example, a boost deck) among a plurality of decks.

For example, the battle execution unit 314 includes a plurality of rows (an example of a first group) including a row (an example of a group) in which a plurality of cards (an example of an object) can be set by the user, and one or more cards of the opponent. A battle process in which a plurality of columns (an example of the second group) including the columns included in each of the columns compete against each other is executed based on a preset combination of the columns of each match.

As a result, the game server 30 plays each battle in a combination of preset rows, so that the user can put his / her own card in that row while being aware of the cards set in each row of the opponent. You will have to think about whether to set it, and you can improve your strategy.

In addition, the winning / losing determination unit 315 has a plurality of columns (an example of a first group) including a column (an example of a group) in which a plurality of cards (an example of an object) can be set by a user by a battle between columns (an example of a group). ) And each of the multiple rows (an example of the second group) including the row containing one or more cards of the opponent, the victory or defeat between the user and the opponent is determined. To do.

As a result, the game server 30 determines the victory or defeat with the opponent by the number of wins or losses of each match between the preset rows, so that the 5th row is evenly strengthened or the 3rd row is concentrated aiming at 3 wins. It is possible to enhance the strategic nature such as whether to strengthen it. For example, even with the same 10 cards, there is a possibility that the victory or defeat will differ depending on the placement when setting in the deck, so the bargaining element that is conscious of the opponent will increase and the strategy will be enhanced. be able to.

In addition, the winning / losing determination unit 315 may determine the winning / losing between the user and the opponent, other than the method based on the number of winning / losing of each match between the rows. For example, the win / loss determination unit 315 may evaluate each match between rows according to a predetermined standard and convert it into points, and determine the win / loss between the user and the opponent based on the total value. The predetermined criteria may be, for example, evaluation criteria such as time, quantity, achievement, size, and beauty. In addition, the win / loss determination unit 315 wins / loses between the user and the opponent based on both the number of wins / losses in each match between the rows and the total value obtained by evaluating each match between the rows according to a predetermined standard and converting them into points. May be confirmed.

Further, the game server 30 includes a boost line setting unit 313 (an example of a specific group setting unit), and a plurality of columns (an example of a group) including a column (an example of a group) in which a plurality of cards (an example of an object) can be set by a user. One of (an example of one group) is set as a boost line (an example of a specific group) based on a user's instruction.

As a result, the game server 30 allows the user to select in which column the boost line is set, so that the range of the user's strategy can be expanded.

In the present embodiment, the user can arbitrarily set which column the boost line should be, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the boost line is a preset column (for example, the first column, etc.). ) May be fixed. In this case, since the boost line is in the same line as the opponent, it becomes easier to realize a battle between the strongest lines (ace lines).

Further, the battle execution unit 314 is a combination of cards set in a plurality of columns (an example of a first group) including a column (an example of a group) in which a plurality of cards (an example of an object) can be set by the user (for example, an example of a group). Based on a combination of cards with the same coordination skills), the rows of the plurality of rows and the rows of multiple rows (an example of the second group) including a row containing one or more cards of the opponent respectively. The battle process is executed so as to generate a cooperation effect that affects the battle result for at least one of the battles. Here, the combination of cards (an example of an object) may be, for example, a combination of a specific card (an example of a specific object), that is, a combination of a specific card ID (an example of a specific object ID). Alternatively, it may be a combination of parameters (attributes, cooperation skills, etc.) set in a card (an example of an object). In addition, to generate a cooperation effect that affects the battle result for at least one battle, activate the cooperation effect on the card that is the target of the cooperation effect among all the cards set in the deck regardless of the column division. By doing so, it affects the result of the match for at least one row match.

As a result, in the game server 30, the row battle is performed in units of rows, but the cooperation effect is activated regardless of the division of the rows. Therefore, there is no restriction on the combination of cards that activates the linkage effect, and the degree of freedom is increased. Can be given.

In addition, the battle execution unit 314 includes a plurality of columns (an example of the first group) in which cards (an example of an object) are set in advance by a user, and a plurality of columns in which cards are set in advance by another user different from the user. The battle process with the column (an example of the second group) can be executed without intervening the operation of another user.

As a result, in the game server 30, since the row battle between the rows in which the cards are set in advance is performed asynchronously, there is no restriction on the timing of playing and the degree of freedom is high.

Further, the game server 30 includes a display control unit 316, and when the user selects an opponent, information about a plurality of columns (an example of a second group) in which an opponent's card (an example of an object) is set. Display at least part of. Here, the information about the plurality of columns (an example of the second group) is, for example, information (for example, hint information) in which the progress or result of the match can be estimated in the row match.

As a result, the game server 30 can display at least a part of the information of the opponent's card as hint information when the user selects the opponent. The user can refer to this hint information to decide which user to select as an opponent. In addition, the user can refer to this hint information and rearrange the arrangement of cards set in his / her deck to play against each other.

[Modification example]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes designs and the like within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, an example in which an effect (for example, parameters such as attack power and defense power are 1.5 times) that gives an advantageous battle result to the boost line has been described, but instead of the boost line, An effect (for example, parameters such as attack power and defense power are halved) may be produced in a specific row so that the battle result is unfavorable. In this case as well, what kind of card combination is placed in which row is a factor that affects the outcome with the opponent, so the bargaining element that is conscious of the opponent increases, and the strategy can be enhanced. ..

Further, in the above embodiment, an example (see FIG. 9) in which the information related to the cooperation is stored in the card master data as one of the card information has been described, but it may be managed separately from the card information. For example, the game server 30 includes table information in which information related to cooperation (cooperation data) is stored in addition to the card master data in which card information is stored, and the table information is referred to and linked at the time of a battle. The effect may be reflected in the battle result.
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a data example of table information in which cooperation data is stored separately from card information. In the illustrated table information of the cooperation data, the cooperation ID, the activation condition, and the cooperation skill are associated with each other. The cooperation ID is identification information for identifying the type of cooperation. The activation condition indicates a combination of cards that activates the cooperation effect, and the card ID of the corresponding card is stored. In the illustrated example, for example, the card ID is identified by the cooperation ID "RK1" by the combination of three cards of "CA1", "CA2", and "CA3" (when set in one deck). The cooperation effect is activated. The cooperation skill stores the name of the cooperation skill that activates the cooperation effect and the content of the effect (for example, a point for adding the parameters of attack power and defense power to the value).
The game server 30 (competition execution unit 314) sequentially refers to each activation condition stored in the above table information, and determines whether or not there is a combination that satisfies the activation condition among the cards set in the deck. However, if there is a combination that satisfies the activation conditions, the victory or defeat of the row battle is determined in consideration of the influence of the cooperation effect.
There may be an upper limit to the number of activations of the cooperation effect. For example, the game server 30 (competition execution unit 314) cooperates with the activation conditions so that when the number of combinations of cards satisfying the activation conditions in the deck exceeds the upper limit, the activation number does not exceed the upper limit. The cooperation effect to be activated may be determined by lottery.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which a boost line is used as an example to cause an effect that affects the battle result of a row battle is generated in a specific row (an example of a group) has been described. It is not necessary to have a configuration that causes an effect that affects the result of the battle.

Further, in the above embodiment, a leader effect may exist in addition to the cooperation effect. The leader effect is that the card set as the leader activates the effect set on the card. The effect to be activated is to change a specific parameter as well as the cooperation effect. The card to be the leader may be arbitrarily selected by the user from the cards set in the deck, or may be arranged in a preset slot in the deck (for example, the upper row of the first row). It may be a card that has been played.

Further, in the above embodiment, the arrangement in the row (upper row, lower row) may cause an effect that affects the battle result. For example, a parameter such as the attack power of the card set in the upper row may be set to 1.2 times or the like (1 times in the lower row). Alternatively, only the upper (role as avant-garde) card may be affected by the cooperation effect of parameter down from the opponent.

Further, in the above embodiment, the card used for attack and the card used for defense are common cards and are set to the same deck, but the deck is a deck dedicated to attack and a deck dedicated to defense. Separately, an attack card may be set in the attack-only deck, and a defense card may be set in the defense-only deck.

Further, in the above embodiment, the card used for attack and the card used for defense are common cards, and each card set in the same deck is used on the attacking side. The parameters for the attack and the parameters for the defense used when the defender are set are set respectively, but there is no need to have a concept of distinguishing between the attacker and the defender. For example, each card set in the same deck has a common parameter that is used for both attack and defense, and even if that common parameter is used for battle regardless of attack or defense. Good.

In the above embodiment, an example in which a battle between preset decks is performed asynchronously has been described, but the battle is not limited to the battle performed asynchronously, and the battle is performed while the user and the opponent user operate each other. May be a synchronous match (for example, an online game in which both the user and the opponent play online).

Further, a program for realizing the functions of the terminal control unit 110 or the server control unit 310 described above is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read by the computer system and executed. As a result, the processing as the terminal control unit 110 or the server control unit 310 may be performed. Here, "loading a computer system a program recorded on a recording medium and executing it" includes installing the program in the computer system. The term "computer system" as used herein includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Further, the "computer system" may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication line such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and a dedicated line. Further, the "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, or a CD-ROM, or a storage device such as a hard disk built in a computer system. As described above, the recording medium in which the program is stored may be a non-transient recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The recording medium also includes an internal or external recording medium that can be accessed from the distribution server to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program in a format that can be executed by the terminal device. That is, the format stored in the distribution server does not matter as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form that can be executed by the terminal device. The program may be divided into a plurality of parts, downloaded at different timings, and then combined by the terminal device, or the distribution server that distributes each of the divided programs may be different. Furthermore, a "computer-readable recording medium" holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that serves as a server or client when the program is transmitted via a network. It shall include things. Further, the above program may be for realizing a part of the above-mentioned functions. Further, a so-called difference file (difference program) may be used, which can realize the above-mentioned function in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system.

Further, a part or all of the terminal control unit 110 or the server control unit 310 described above may be realized as an integrated circuit such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration). Each of the above-mentioned functions may be made into a processor individually, or a part or all of them may be integrated into a processor. Further, the method of making an integrated circuit is not limited to LSI, and may be realized by a dedicated circuit or a general-purpose processor. Further, when an integrated circuit technology that replaces an LSI appears due to advances in semiconductor technology, an integrated circuit based on this technology may be used.

Further, the user terminal 10 may include at least a part of each unit included in the server control unit 310 in the above embodiment. That is, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the game server 30 executes the deck formation process and the battle process based on the user's operation on the user terminal 10 has been described, but at least a part of the deck formation process and the battle process is performed by the user. It may be executed on the terminal 10. For example, in the present embodiment, an example of a browser game that can be played on a web browser without introducing a dedicated program for executing a game into the user terminal 10 has been described, but in order to execute the game on the user terminal 10. The dedicated program may be introduced and the dedicated program may be a game (for example, a native game) that executes at least a part of the game processing.

Further, in the case of a native game, the user data storage unit 351 provided in the storage unit 35, the card master data storage unit 352, the possessed card data storage unit 353, a part of the deck data storage unit 354, or each storage. A part of the data stored in the unit may also be stored in the storage unit 15 of the user terminal 10. For example, among the data stored in the storage unit 35, data unique to each user may be stored in each storage unit 15 of the user terminal 10 of each user. That is, the game server 30 may store the data of all the registered users, and each user terminal 10 may store the data of each user. In this case, the data stored in the game server 30 and the data stored in the user terminal 10 are synchronized at a predetermined opportunity.
