[0067] <Preparation for Battle Game>

[0068] Reference Figure 1 The preparation for the battle game is described. The player and the opponent player each hold a plurality of first-class game items. In this embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the player and the opponent player prepare a predetermined number of decks 5 consisting of unit cards 10 and optional cards 30, and a leader card 20. In the present embodiment, each player has a deck 5 of 30 cards and a leader card of 1 card. The game board 4 is arranged. The mark 3 is arranged in the mark area 43 of the game board 4. Each player arranges the leader card 20 in his own leader area 46 of the game board 4. Each player shuffles his own deck 5 and arranges his own deck 5 in his own deck area 45 of the game board 4 with the back of the game card 2 facing outward.

[0069] <Round 1>

[0070] Each player draws a predetermined number of game cards 2 from the deck 5 as a hand 6. In the present embodiment, 12 game cards 2 are drawn from the deck 5 as a hand 6. Each player arranges a predetermined number of game cards 2 from the hand 6 in the own battle area 41 of the game board 4 with the back of the game cards 2 facing outward. In the present embodiment, the number of game cards 2 arranged in the own battle area 41 is set to 8. Each player arranges a predetermined number of game cards 2 from the hand 6 in the own unused fee area 44A of the game board 4 with the back of the game cards 2 facing outward. In the present embodiment, the number of game cards 2 arranged in the own unused fee area 44A is set to 4.

[0071] At the beginning of the first round, the player and the opponent player decide who will attack first and who will attack second, and the rounds are repeated alternately starting with the player who attacks first.

[0072] A player can perform any of the following actions (A) to (D) up to twice in each of his / her turns. (A) to (D) are examples of actions that a player may perform, and the actions are not limited to these.

[0073] (A) The player can flip the game card 2 that is arranged in the battle area of ​​his own side so that it is arranged in the front side. In this case, the fee of the game card 2 needs to be paid. In this embodiment, the fee is the value of the fee information recorded on the front side of the game card 2. The fee can be paid by moving the game card 2 with a fee information value that is arranged in the unused fee area 44A and is greater than the value of the fee information to the used fee area 44B. On the other hand, if the value of the fee information of the game card 2 arranged in the unused fee area 44A is less than the value of the fee information, the fee cannot be paid. That is, in this case, the player cannot flip the game card 2 so that it is arranged in the front side.

[0074] (B) A player can select a game card 2 placed in the battle area 41 of an opponent player as an attack target, and attack it with a unit card 10 placed in the battle area 41 of his own player.

[0075] When selecting an attack target, if the unit card 10 of the player's own side is arranged with the back side, the unit card 10 can be turned over from the back side to the front side after the selection. If the game card 2 of the opponent player selected as the attack target is arranged with the back side, the game card 2 can be turned over from the back side to the front side.

[0076] The first category of game items includes the following two types of first category game items, one of which can only attack the first category game items configured in the first area of ​​the opponent player or in the first area of ​​the opponent player adjacent to the first area of ​​the player; and the other can attack the first category game items configured in the first area of ​​the opponent player or in the first area of ​​the opponent player not adjacent to the first area of ​​the player. In the present embodiment, the unit card 10 includes a "close attack" unit card 10 and a "long-range attack" unit card 10. The attack target of the "close attack" unit card 10 can only be a game card 2 configured in the battle area 41 of the opponent player or in the battle area 41 of the opponent player adjacent to the battle area 41 of the player, and the attack target of the "long-range attack" unit card 10 can be a game card 2 configured in the battle area 41 of the opponent player or in the battle area 41 of the opponent player not adjacent to the battle area 41 of the player. Below, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A specific example will be described.

[0077] Reference Figure 6 The close-range attack and the long-range attack are explained. Regarding the close-range attack, the unit card 10 arranged in the B grid and the E grid on the player side is the unit card 10 for the close-range attack, and the unit card 10 in the B grid can select the unit card 10 in the b grid on the adjacent opponent player side as the attack target. On the other hand, the unit card 10 in the B grid cannot select the unit card 10 in the f grid on the non-adjacent opponent player side as the attack target. Furthermore, the unit card 10 in the E grid cannot select the unit card 10 in the a grid on the non-adjacent opponent player side as the attack target. Regarding the long-range attack, the unit card 10 arranged in the G grid on the player side is the unit card 10 for the long-range attack. The unit card 10 in the G grid can select the unit card 10 in the c grid on the non-adjacent opponent player side as the attack target.

[0078] In addition, refer to Figure 7 The close-range attack is explained below. The unit card 10 arranged in the E grid on the player side is a close-range attack unit card 10. In the case where there is no game card 2 arranged in the front row, that is, no game card 2 is arranged in the A to D grids on the player side, and no game card 2 is arranged in the a to d grids on the opponent player side, the unit card 10 in the E grid in the back row can select the unit card 10 in the e grid in the back row on the non-adjacent opponent player side as the attack target.

[0079] The victory or defeat is determined based on the second information of the attacking first-category game item and the second information of the first-category game item as the target of the attack, and the first-category game item of the losing side is removed from the first area. In the present embodiment, for example, when the strength information 14 of the attacking unit card 10 of the player is "strength 3" and the life information 15 of the opponent player's unit card 10 as the target of the attack is "life 2", the strength value of the attacking unit card 10 is greater than the life value of the unit card 10 as the target of the attack, so the attacking unit card 10 wins, and the losing side's unit card 10 as the target of the attack is removed from the battle area 41. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the strength information 14 of the attacking unit card 10 of the player is "strength 3" and the life information 15 is "life 3", and the strength information 14 of the unit card 10 of the opponent player as the target of attack is "strength 3" and the life information 15 is "life 2", the strength value of the attacking unit card 10 is greater than the life value of the unit card 10 as the target of attack, and the strength value of the unit card 10 as the target of attack is greater than the life value of the attacking unit card 10, so it can be regarded that both the attacking unit card 10 and the unit card 10 as the target of attack have failed, and the failed attacking unit card 10 and the unit card 10 as the target of attack are removed from the battle area 41. The removed unit card 10 can be arranged in the retreat area 42.

[0080] (C) A player can use the ability of a unit card 10 placed face-up in his own battle area 41. Using an ability means executing the content described in the ability information 17 of the unit card 10.

[0081] (D) A player can move a unit card 10 placed face-up in his own battle area 41 from the grid where it is located to another grid. In this case, the condition is that no game card 2 is placed in the other grid as the moving destination. Figure 8 , the game card 2 is not arranged in the grid A, and the game card 2 is arranged in the grid B and C. In this case, the game card 2 arranged in the grid B can be moved to the grid A, but cannot be moved to the grid C.

[0082] In this embodiment, the marker 3 is moved based on the difference between the sum of the marker information 16 of the player's unit card 10 and the marker information 23 of the leader card 20 and the sum of the marker information 16 of the opponent player's unit card 10 and the marker information 23 of the leader card 20.
