Benefits of technology

[0018] It is preferred that two or more cards composing the combination card set should have an effect indication field thereon for indicating the effect to be exerted when the two or more cards are deployed on the play field in accordance with the layout map. With this arrangement, the players can work out their gaming strategies since they can expect the effect to be exerted when the combination card set is built up even if all of the cards composing the combination card set have not been deployed on the play field yet.

[0019] The construction of the play field is arbitrary. A particular play field dedicated for the game may be prepared. Or, a virtual play filed may simply be set up on a desk, table, or floor where the game is to be played. In case of preparing the dedicated play field, it is preferred to use a sheet-like play field comprising one or more sheets having indications thereon for indicating where to deploy the cards. For example, the sheet-like play field may be constructed to have indications of where to deploy the battle cards to be used for battle, where to deploy the battle cards to be used for defense, where to deploy the cost payment cards to be used for cost payment, where to deploy the battle cards and effect indication cards to be used in cost payment, and where to deploy the effect indication cards to be exerted. With the use of such a sheet-like play field, even a beginner player can proceed with the game without difficulties.

[0020] The players can recognize at a glance where to place the cards of the combination card set during the game. Even if one conceptual image, which is composed of divided images indicated on two or more cards composing the combination card set, is intricate or complicated, the players can recognize how to deploy cards in order comparatively simply, and can proceed with the game smoothly.
