[0022] Hereinafter, a game toy according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in this specification, for ease of explanation, sometimes unnecessary detailed descriptions are omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repetitive descriptions related to substantially the same structure are sometimes omitted. In this specification, the terms "player" and "user" are sometimes used with the same meaning. In this specification, the terms "card pile" and "card deck" are sometimes used with the same meaning. In this specification, sometimes the act of a player placing game media and game items in the game area, using game media and game items, or performing some kind of action is expressed as "playing the game."

[0023] This invention relates to a game toy used in a competitive game. A competitive game is a game in which a first player and a second player, acting as opponents, battle against each other by arranging game media and game items in a game area. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the competitive game can be either a one-on-one game as described above, or a multiplayer game. That is, for example, it can be a competitive game in which three or more people battle against each other, or it can be a competitive game in which four people battle in a two-on-two team battle.

[0024] Game media and game items can also correspond to characters. Game media includes multiple types. In this embodiment, for example, game media includes a first type of game media, a second type of game media, a third type of game media, and a fourth type of game media. The first type of game media contains a first type of character. The second type of game media contains a second type of character. The third type of game media contains a third type of character. Game items include multiple types of game items. In this embodiment, for example, game items include a first type of game item and a second type of game item. Multiple areas (zones) for configuring game media and game items are allocated in the game playing area. Each player configures the game media and game items in a certain area (zone) of their own game playing area and uses the effects, etc., of the characters corresponding to the game media and game items to engage in combat games.

[0025] Figure 1 This is an example illustration of a game toy 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The game toy 1 includes cards 2 and a game area 3. The card deck 4, resource card deck 5, and hand cards 6 consist of multiple cards 2 held by each player.

[0026] Card 2 is equivalent to the aforementioned game medium and is held by the player. Players can acquire Card 2 through purchase, exchange with other players, or distribution to players who meet certain conditions.

[0027] The game medium includes one side and another side. One side contains information about the corresponding character, etc., in a recognizable manner, while the other side does not contain such information about the character, etc., in a recognizable manner. In this embodiment, the card 2 consists of a front side (equivalent to one side) where the information about the corresponding character, etc., can be recognized, and a back side (equivalent to the other side) where the information cannot be recognized. In this embodiment, multiple types of cards 2 are prepared. The information recorded on the front side of the card 2 varies depending on the type of card 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, card 2 includes at least any content from the following: a character, information associated with the character (name, image, etc.), and explanatory text (effects, etc.). A character is a person appearing in the work. Information associated with the character includes characteristic scenes, situations, landscapes, backgrounds, buildings, the character's possessions, and actions. Furthermore, in this specification, sometimes the distinction between a character and information associated with the character is not made, and the term "character" is used uniformly.

[0029] In this embodiment, card 2 has a positive position, which is the state from the player's perspective where they can directly determine the content recorded on their card 2. The positive position of card 2 is mostly a vertical position. As for the arrangement of card 2 on the game playing area 3, there are states where it is in a vertical position and states where it has changed 90° relative to the vertical position. Regarding vertical and horizontal positions, for example, if we refer to... Figure 1 In this case, the unit card 21 in the battle zone 31 on the first player's side is in a vertical position, and the unit card 21 in the battle zone 31 on the second player's side is in a horizontal position. Here, sometimes the card 2 in the player's view of its own position (vertical position) is expressed as "activated," and the card 2 in the horizontal position is expressed as "dormant." In this case, for example, the state that changes the card 2 from a vertical position to a horizontal position can also be expressed as changing the card 2 from an active state to a dormant state. When the card 2 is in an active state, it can also indicate that the card 2 has not attacked, or that its effect has not been used. On the other hand, when the card 2 is in a dormant state, it can also indicate that the card 2 has attacked, or that its effect has been used. Therefore, for example, it is also possible that when an active, unattacked card 2 attacks, the card 2's unattacked active state (vertical position configuration) is changed to an attacked dormant state (horizontal position configuration). Furthermore, as for the arrangement of card 2 on the game field 3, there are front-facing and back-facing arrangements.

[0030] Figures 2-6 This diagram illustrates examples of the front faces of various types of cards according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, card 2 is a type of game medium used in a battle game, which can be configured in various areas of the game arena 3 described later. The game medium includes at least first information, second information, and third information. The first information includes information referenced when determining whether card 2 can be configured in the game arena 3. The second information includes information referenced when operating on card 2 already configured in the game arena 3. The third information includes text information. In this embodiment, the front face of card 2 includes level information (equivalent to the first information), cost information (equivalent to the second information), and effect information (equivalent to the third information). Additionally, in this embodiment, the front face of card 2 may also include parameters such as attack power information (AP: attack value) and durability information (HP: health points).

[0031] In this embodiment, the card 2, which is equivalent to the game medium, includes at least unit card 21, driver card 22, base card 23, and resource card 26. Additionally, in this embodiment, game items include token cards 24 and figurines 25.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 To explain the information contained in Unit Card 21. Unit Card 21 is equivalent to the first type of game medium. Unit Card 21 contains at least level information 211, cost information 212, effect information 213, attack power information 214, and durability information 215 as character information 210.

[0033] Level information 211 is included in the information referenced when determining whether unit card 21 can be configured in game arena 3. Cost information 212 is included in the information referenced when operating on unit card 21 that has already been configured in game arena 3. Figure 2 In the example, level information 211 contains numerical information such as level "4", and cost information 212 contains numerical information such as cost "3".

[0034] Regarding level information 211 and cost information 212, unit card 21 can also be configured to determine whether it can be assigned to the game arena 3 based on level information 211. For example, if the value of level information 211 of unit card 21 is less than or equal to the number of any of its own cards 2 in the game arena 3 (whether active or dormant), then unit card 21 is determined to be assignable to the game arena 3. Alternatively, for example, if the value of level information 211 of unit card 21 is less than or equal to the number of resource cards 26 in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3 (whether active or dormant), then unit card 21 is determined to be assignable to the game arena 3. (See reference...) Figure 1 For example, in a hand of 6, there exists Figure 2 In the case of unit card 21, since the value "4" of the level information 211 of unit card 21 is less than "5" of the resource cards 26 in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3, it can be determined that unit card 21 can be configured in the game arena 3. Next, unit card 21 can also be configured such that an active card 2 configured in the game arena 3 is changed to a dormant state according to the cost information 212, thereby enabling the use of unit card 21 in the game. Here, for example, the active card 2 to be changed to a dormant state can be at least one of the active unit card 21 and pilot card 22 configured in its own battle zone 31 in the game arena 3. Additionally, for example, the active card 2 to be changed to a dormant state can be an active resource card 26 configured in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3. (See reference...) Figure 1As described above, the value "3" of the cost information 212 of the unit card 21 that is determined to be able to be configured to the game field 3 means that there are "5" or less resource cards 26 in the active state of the resource area 36 of the game field 3, so that the unit card 21 can be used in the game.

[0035] Unit card 21 contains level information 211 and cost information 212 in different ways. Here, "different ways" could mean, for example, including containing cost information in a way that emphasizes the level information more, including cost information in a larger size than the level information, including level information and cost information adjacent to each other, or including level information and cost information at the end of unit card 21. Furthermore, the relationship between the different ways of containing level information and cost information described above can also be reversed. Unit card 21 can also be configured to reference cost information 212 after referencing level information 211. Level information 211 and cost information 212 can also be numerical information. Unit card 21 can also be configured to reference either level information 211 or cost information 212 when not configured in the game area 3.

[0036] Effect information 213 contains information related to the abilities and effects of the same unit card 21. For example, it includes information related to the link unit described later. Effect information 213 can also be configured so that it can be used in the game when unit card 21 is configured in the game arena 3. Effect information 213 can also be configured so that it can be used in the game when unit card 21 is configured in the battle zone 31 of the game arena 3. Effect information 213 can also be configured so that it can be used in the game when the first type of character of unit card 21 and the second type of character of pilot card 22 are a combination of the first type described later, that is, when they are link units described later.

[0037] Attack power information 214 and durability information 215 contain information representing the attack power and durability of unit card 21. Unit card 21 contains character name information 216 and character pattern information 217 as character information 210. Character pattern information 217 may also contain a two-dimensional character. Character pattern information 217 may also contain an image that mimics a mechanical structure.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 To explain the information contained in the Driver Card 22. The Driver Card 22 is equivalent to a second type of game medium. The Driver Card 22 contains at least level information 221, cost information 222, effect information 223, attack power information 224, and durability information 225 as character information 220.

[0039] Level information 221 is included in the information referenced when determining whether driver card 22 can be configured in game arena 3. Cost information 222 is included in the information referenced when operating on driver card 22 that has already been configured in game arena 3. Figure 4 In the example, level information 221 contains numerical information such as level "4", and cost information 222 contains numerical information such as cost "1".

[0040] Regarding the level information 221 and the cost information 222, the driver card 22 can also be configured to determine whether it can be assigned to the game arena 3 based on the level information 221. For example, if the value of the driver card 22's level information 221 is less than or equal to the number of any of its own cards 2 in the game arena 3 (whether active or dormant), then the driver card 22 is determined to be assignable to the game arena 3. Alternatively, for example, if the value of the driver card 22's level information 221 is less than or equal to the number of resource cards 26 in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3 (whether active or dormant), then the driver card 22 is determined to be assignable to the game arena 3. (See also...) Figure 1 For example, in a hand of 6, there exists Figure 4 In the case of Driver Card 22, since the value "4" in the level information 221 of Driver Card 22 is less than "5" of the resource cards 26 in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3, it can be determined that Driver Card 22 can be configured in the game arena 3. Next, Driver Card 22 can also be configured such that by changing the active state of Card 2 configured in the game arena 3 to a dormant state according to the cost information 222, Driver Card 22 can be used in the game. Here, for example, the active state Card 2 to be changed to a dormant state can be at least one of the active state Unit Card 21 and Driver Card 22 configured in its own battle zone 31 in the game arena 3. Additionally, here, for example, the active state Card 2 to be changed to a dormant state can be an active state Resource Card 26 configured in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3. (See reference...) Figure 1 As described above, the value "1" of the cost information 222 of the driver card 22 that is determined to be able to be configured to the game venue 3 means that there are "5" or less resource cards 26 in the active state of the resource area 36 of the game venue 3, so the driver card 22 can be used in the game.

[0041] The driver card 22 contains grade information 221 and fee information 222 in different ways. Here, "different ways" could mean, for example, including the fee information being included in a way that emphasizes it more than the grade information, including the fee information in a larger size than the grade information, including the grade information and fee information adjacent to each other, or including the grade information and fee information at the end of the driver card 22. Furthermore, the relationship between the different ways of including the grade information and fee information described above could also be reversed. The driver card 22 could also be configured to refer to the fee information 222 after referring to the grade information 221. The grade information 221 and fee information 222 could also be numerical information. The driver card 22 could also be configured to refer to either the grade information 221 or the fee information 222 when not configured in the game area 3.

[0042] Effect information 223 contains information related to the abilities and effects associated with Pilot Card 22. For example, it includes information related to Link Units (described later). Effect information 223 can also be configured such that it can be used during gameplay when Pilot Card 22 is configured in Game Arena 3. Effect information 223 can also be configured such that it can be used during gameplay when Pilot Card 22 is configured in Battle Zone 31 of Game Arena 3. Effect information 213 can also be configured such that it can be used during gameplay when the first type of character of Unit Card 21 and the second type of character of Pilot Card 22 are a combination of the first type (described later), i.e., when they are Link Units (described later).

[0043] Attack power information 224 and durability information 225 contain information representing the attack power and durability of the pilot card 22. The pilot card 22 contains character name information 226 and character image information 227 as part of character information 220. Character image information 227 may also contain a two-dimensional character. Character image information 227 may also contain an image mimicking a human figure associated with a mechanical construct.

[0044] Unit card 21 and driver card 22 may also contain images of different types of characters. Driver card 22 may also be configured such that, when deployed in game arena 3, the image mimicking a human associated with a mechanical structure cannot be visually identified. Unit card 21 and driver card 22 may also be configured to be the same size.

[0045] Unit card 21 and driver card 22 can also be configured such that only one driver card 22 can be combined with one unit card 21 to be configured in the game arena 3. Therefore, in this case, unit card 21 and driver card 22 cannot be configured in the game arena 3 by combining two or more driver cards 22 with one unit card 21. Driver card 22 can also be configured such that it can be configured in the game arena 3 only when combined with unit card 21. When configuring unit card 21 and driver card 22 together in the game arena 3, as... Figure 10 As shown, they can also be arranged in an overlapping manner in the game arena 3. Unit card 21 and driver card 22 can also be arranged in the game arena 3 in the following manner: only a portion of driver card 22 (in Figure 10 In the example, attack power information 224 and durability information 225 are overlapped in a way that can be visually confirmed. Unit card 21 and driver card 22 can also be configured in the game arena 3 in the following way: with the role of driver card 22 (in... Figure 10 In the example, the character pattern information (237) overlaps in a way that cannot be visually confirmed. For example... Figure 10 As shown, driver card 22 can also be configured in the game arena 3 as a unit card 21.

[0046] Unit cards 21 and driver cards 22 can be configured as a combination in the game arena 3, for example, in the manner described above. However, there are specific combinations where a particular character from the first type of role in unit cards 21 is compatible with a particular character from the second type of role in driver cards 22. This combination is equivalent to the first type of combination and is a "connecting unit." For example... Figure 2 Unit card 21 "Role A" and Figure 4 The combination of "Role C" in driver card 22 (equivalent to) Figure 10 (the combination of unit card 21 and driver card 22), and Figure 3 Unit card 21 "Character B" and Figure 5 The combination of "Character D" in Driver Card 22 is a linking unit, which, when configured in the game arena 3, benefits the progress of the battle game. On the other hand, there are combinations that are not specific combinations (linking units) as described above, where the first type of character in Unit Card 21 and the second type of character in Driver Card 22 are incompatible. These combinations are equivalent to the second type of combination and are not linking units. For example, Figure 2 Unit card 21 "Role A" and Figure 5 The combination of "Character D" in driver card 22, and Figure 3 Unit card 21 "Character B" and Figure 4The combination of "Character C" of driver card 22 is not a connecting unit, and configuring it in the game field 3 will not benefit the progress of the battle game.

[0047] Here, "advantaging the progress of the battle game" means, for example, in a turn-based battle game, when Unit Card 21 and Driver Card 22 are newly assigned to the game arena 3 during the first player's turn, and the first type of character of Unit Card 21 and the second type of character of Driver Card 22 are a first type combination, that is, when they are Link Units, Unit Card 21 and Driver Card 22 can be used in the game during that turn. When Unit Card 21 and Driver Card 22 are newly assigned to the game arena 3 during the first player's turn, and the first type of character of Unit Card 21 and the second type of character of Driver Card 22 are a second type combination, that is, when they are not Link Units, Unit Card 21 and Driver Card 22 cannot be used in the game during that turn, thus favoring the progress of the battle game. Therefore, normally, Unit Card 21 cannot attack during the turn it is assigned to the game arena 3, but Link Units can attack during the turn it is assigned to the game arena 3.

[0048] Furthermore, as a way to improve the progress of the battle game, for example, as attack power information of a combination of connected units configured in the game arena 3, the attack power information obtained by combining the attack power information 214 of the unit card 21 constituting the combination with the attack power information 224 of the pilot card 22 can be used. For example, in Figure 2 Unit Card 21 and Figure 4 In the case of a combination of driver cards 22, i.e., a combination of connecting units, the attack power information of the combination of connecting units can be obtained by adding "3" of the attack power information of unit cards 21 constituting the combination and "2" of the attack power information of driver cards 22, resulting in "5". Additionally, for example, the durability information of a combination of connecting units configured in the game arena 3 can be obtained by adding the durability information 215 of unit cards 21 constituting the combination and the durability information 225 of driver cards 22. For example, in... Figure 2 Unit Card 21 and Figure 4In the case of a combination of pilot cards 22, i.e., a combination of linked units, the durability information of the linked unit combination can be obtained by adding "4" of the durability information of unit card 21 and "1" of the durability information of pilot card 22 to obtain "5". In addition, as a way to benefit the progress of the battle game, it is not limited to the above method. For example, at least one of unit card 21 and pilot card 22 contains effect information as character information as described above. However, when the first type of character of unit card 21 and the second type of character of pilot card 22 are a combination of the first type, that is, when it is a linked unit, the effect information can be used in the game.

[0049] Alternatively, even if the combination of unit card 21 and driver card 22 is not a linked unit, the attack power information of a combination configured in the game arena 3 that is not a linked unit can be obtained by combining the attack power information 214 of unit card 21 and the attack power information 224 of driver card 22. For example, in Figure 2 Unit Card 21 and Figure 5 In the case of a combination of driver cards 22 that is not a linked unit combination, the attack power information of this non-linked unit combination can also be obtained by adding "3" of the attack power information of the unit cards 21 constituting the combination and "1" of the attack power information of the driver cards 22, resulting in "4". Additionally, for example, the durability information of a combination configured in the game arena 3 that is not a linked unit combination can also be obtained by adding the durability information 215 of the unit cards 21 constituting the combination and the durability information 225 of the driver cards 22. For example, in... Figure 2 Unit Card 21 and Figure 5 In the case of a combination of driver cards 22 that is not a combination of connected units, the durability information of the combination that is not a combination of connected units can also be obtained by adding "4" of the durability information of the unit cards 21 that constitute the combination and "1" of the durability information of the driver cards 22 to obtain "5".

[0050] Alternatively, in either the case of a combination of connected units as described above or a combination of non-connected units, when attack power information or durability information is aggregated, the aggregated attack power information is used as the attack power information of the combination, or the aggregated durability information is used as the durability information of the combination. Therefore, the individual attack power information and durability information of the unit card 21 and driver card 22 that constitute the combination and are used in the aggregated process cannot be used.

[0051] Regarding linked units, in order for players to identify specific combinations of specific unit cards 21 and specific driver cards 22 that constitute linked units, Figure 2 The effect information 213 of unit card 21 can also include information such as "the combination with character C is a connecting unit," and correspondingly, Figure 4 The effect information 223 of driver card 22 may also include information such as "the combination with character A is a connecting unit".

[0052] Reference Figure 6 This section explains the information contained in Base Card 23. Base Card 23 is equivalent to a third type of game medium. Base Card 23 contains at least level information 231, cost information 232, effect information 233, attack power information 234, and durability information 235 as character information 230. Unit Card 21 and Base Card 23 can also be made to the same size.

[0053] Level information 231 is included in the information referenced when determining whether a base card 23 can be configured in game arena 3. Cost information 232 is included in the information referenced when operating on a base card 23 that has already been configured in game arena 3. Figure 6 In the example, level information 231 contains numerical information such as level "3", and cost information 232 contains numerical information such as cost "1".

[0054] Regarding level information 231 and cost information 232, the base card 23 can also be configured to determine whether it can be configured into the game arena 3 based on the level information 231. For example, if the value of the level information 231 of the base card 23 is less than or equal to the number of any card 2 (whether active or dormant) in the game arena 3, then the base card 23 is determined to be able to be configured into the game arena 3. Alternatively, for example, if the value of the level information 231 of the base card 23 is less than or equal to the number of resource cards 26 (whether active or dormant) in its resource zone 36 in the game arena 3, then the base card 23 is determined to be able to be configured into the game arena 3. (See reference...) Figure 1 For example, in a hand of 6, there exists Figure 6In the case of base card 23, if the level information 231 of base card 23 has a value of "3" and the number of resource cards 26 in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3 is "5" or less, then it can be determined that base card 23 can be configured in the game arena 3. Next, base card 23 can also be configured such that an active card 2 configured in the game arena 3 is changed to a dormant state based on cost information 232, thereby enabling the use of base card 23 in the game. Here, for example, the active card 2 to be changed to a dormant state could be at least one of the active unit card 21 and pilot card 22 configured in its own battle zone 31 in the game arena 3. Additionally, here, for example, the active card 2 to be changed to a dormant state could be an active resource card 26 configured in its own resource zone 36 in the game arena 3. (See reference...) Figure 1 As described above, the value "1" of the cost information 232 of the base card 23 that is determined to be able to be configured to play the game venue 3 means that there are "5" or fewer resource cards 26 in the active state of the resource area 36 of the game venue 3, so that the base card 23 can be used in the game.

[0055] The base card 23 contains level information 231 and cost information 232 in different ways. Here, "different ways" could mean, for example, including the cost information being included in a way that emphasizes it more than the level information, including the cost information in a larger size than the level information, including the level information and cost information adjacent to each other, or including the level information and cost information at the end of the base card 23. Furthermore, the relationship between the different ways of including the level information and cost information described above could also be reversed. The base card 23 could also be configured to refer to the cost information 232 after referring to the level information 231. The level information 231 and cost information 232 could also be numerical information. The base card 23 could also be configured to refer to either the level information 231 or the cost information 232 when not configured in the game area 3.

[0056] Effect information 233 contains information related to the abilities and effects of the same base card 23. Effect information 233 can also be configured such that it can be used during gameplay when the base card 23 is configured in the game arena 3. Effect information 233 can also be configured such that it can be used during gameplay when the base card 23 is configured in the EX base area 33 or base area 34 of the game arena 3.

[0057] Attack power information 234 and durability information 235 contain information representing the attack power and durability of base card 23. Base card 23 contains character name information 236 and character pattern information 237 as character information 230. Character pattern information 237 may also contain a two-dimensional character. Character pattern information 237 may also contain an image that mimics a mechanical structure.

[0058] Base card 23 can also be configured such that only one base card 23 can be placed in the EX base area 33 of the player's own game field 3. For example, refer to Figure 1 A base card 23 is configured in the EX base area 33 of the game arena 3 on the second player's side. The base card 23 can also be configured such that multiple base cards 23 can be configured in the base area 34 of the player's own game arena 3. For example, see... Figure 1 Three base cards 23 are configured in the base area 34 on the first player's side, and two base cards 23 are configured in the base area 34 on the second player's side. The base cards 23 can also be configured to be placed in the base area 34 of the player's own game field 3 in a state of at least partial stacking. For example, refer to... Figure 1 Three base cards 23 are arranged in a partially stacked state in the base area 34 on the first player's side, and two base cards 23 are arranged in a partially stacked state in the base area 34 on the second player's side. Alternatively, the base cards 23 can be configured such that their front faces are visually visible in the player's own game area 3 (EX base area 3). For example, see... Figure 1 A base card 23 is arranged in the EX base area 33 of the game area 3 on the second player's side, but the base card 23 can also be arranged in a state where its front side can be visually recognized. Alternatively, it can be configured so that the base card 23 is arranged in the EX base area 33 of the player's own game area 3 in a state where its back side can be visually recognized. For example, see... Figure 1 A base card 23 is configured in the EX base area 33 of the game field 3 on the second player's side, but the base card 23 can also be configured in a state where its back can be visually confirmed.

[0059] Regarding the placement of Base Card 23 in Game Arena 3, let's compare it with the placement of Unit Card 21 in Game Arena 3. Unit Card 21 is required to be placed in Game Arena 3, while Base Card 23 is not required to be placed in Game Arena 3. Unit Card 21 can also be placed in Battle Zone 31 of Game Arena 3, but not in EX Base Zone 33 and Base Zone 34. On the other hand, Base Card 23 can also be placed in EX Base Zone 33 and Base Zone 34 of Game Arena 3, but not in Battle Zone 31. In turn-based battle games, the first player's Unit Card 21 and Base Card 23 can also be placed in Game Arena 3 during that first player's turn.

[0060] The method by which the first player's base card 23 becomes the target of an attack by the second player's unit card 21, etc., who is the opponent in the game, will be explained. The first player's base card 23 may also be configured such that it becomes the target of an attack by the second player's unit card 21, etc., who is the opponent in the game, but cannot attack the second player or their unit card 21, etc. Alternatively, the base card 23 located in the first player's base area 34 of the game arena 3 may become the target of an attack by the second player's unit card 21, etc., when no base card 23 is located in the EX base area 33. Alternatively, the unit card 21 located in the first player's battle zone 31 of the game arena 3 and the base card 23 located in the EX base area 33 may both become the target of an attack by the second player's unit card 21, etc. Alternatively, either the unit card 21 located in the first player's battle zone 31 of the game arena 3 or the base card 23 located in the EX base area 33 may become the target of an attack by the second player's unit card 21, etc., who is the opponent in the game. It can also be configured such that the unit card 21 configured in the battle zone 31 on the first player's side of the game arena 3 becomes the target of attack by the unit card 21 of the second player, who is the opponent, when no base card 23 is configured in the EX base zone 33.

[0061] The base cards 23 configured in base area 34 will be explained. The base cards 23 configured in base area 34 can also be configured such that their order cannot be changed. Alternatively, the base card 23 configured at the beginning of the multiple base cards 23 configured in base area 34 of the game playing field 3 on the first player's side can become the target of attack by the unit card 21 of the second player, who is the opponent in the battle.

[0062] Unit cards 21 configured in battle zone 31 and base cards 23 configured in EX base zone 33 can also be configured to build a deck. Unit cards 21 and base cards 23 can also be configured to build a deck by combining multiple unit cards 21 with a base card 23.

[0063] Base card 23 can also be configured to favor the progress of the game when it is placed in the EX base area 33 of the player in the game field 3. Here, "favoring the progress of the game" means, for example, that the base card 23 placed in the EX base area 33 can use the effect information 233 contained in the base card 23.

[0064] Resource Card 26 is equivalent to a fourth type of game medium. As mentioned above, Resource Card 26 can also be associated with the level and cost information of Card 2 when it is played.

[0065] Figure 7 and Figure 8 This is a diagram showing an example of the front of a card and a figurine according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the derivative card 24 and the figurine 25 are game items used in a battle game and can be configured in the battle zone 31 of the game arena 3, described later.

[0066] Reference Figure 7 This section explains the information and components contained in the derivative card 24. The derivative card 24 is equivalent to a first-type game item. The derivative card 24 is a type of game item used in a battle game. The derivative card 24 contains at least level information 241, cost information 242, attack power information 245, and durability information 246 as character information 240. The derivative card 24 can also be configured to contain level information 241 and cost information 242 in different ways. Here, "different ways" could be, for example, containing cost information in a way that emphasizes the level information more, containing cost information in a larger size than the level information, containing level information and cost information adjacent to each other, or containing level information and cost information at the end of the derivative card 24. Furthermore, the relationship between the different ways of containing level information and cost information described above can also be reversed. The derivative card 24 includes a character image portion 243 containing a two-dimensional character and a figure configuration portion 244 that does not contain a two-dimensional character. The derivative card 24 can also be configured to allow a figure 25 to be placed in the figure configuration portion 244. The derivative card 24 can also be configured such that only one figure 25 can be configured in the figure configuration section 244. The derivative card 24 can also be configured such that only a figure 25 containing a three-dimensional character corresponding to the two-dimensional character in the character pattern section 243 can be configured in the figure configuration section 244.

[0067] Reference Figure 8 Let me explain the components of the figure 25. The figure 25 is equivalent to a second type of game item. The figure 25 includes at least a base 251 and a character part 252 containing a three-dimensional character. The base 251 may be configured to support the character part 252 in a manner that prevents it from tipping over. The figure 25 may also be configured as a figure mounting part 244 that can be placed on the derivative card 24. Multiple figures 25 are prepared, and the base 251 of each figure may be configured to have the same shape, while the character part 252 of each figure may be configured to have different shapes depending on the character. The character part 252 may also be composed of multiple parts and configured to be assembled. The character part 252 may also be configured so that at least a portion extends beyond the base 251 in the horizontal direction. As described above, the figure 25 may be configured to be mounted on the derivative card 24, and the figure 25 may also be configured not to tip over when mounted on the derivative card 24. Alternatively, the figure 25 can also be configured such that, when placed on top of the derivative card 24, it can slide and move within the game arena 3 in such a way that the combination of the derivative card 24 and the figure 25 does not leave the game arena 3.

[0068] The figure 25 is configured to be placed in the game arena 3 when combined with the token card 24. The figure 25 can also be configured to be placed in the game arena 3 when placed on top of the token card 24. The token card 24 can also be configured to slide and move together with the figure 25 in the game arena 3 while it is placed in the game arena 3, in a way that the combination of the token card 24 and the figure 25 will not leave the game arena 3.

[0069] Derivative Card 24 can also be configured to include character information usable in the battle game. (See reference...) Figure 7 The derivative card 24 contains at least level information 241, cost information 242, attack power information 245, and durability information 246 as character information usable in the game. On the other hand, the figure 25 may be configured not to contain such character information usable in the game.

[0070] Derivative card 24 can also be configured such that its placement face on the game field 3 has a roughly quadrilateral shape. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the surface of the derivative card 24, when placed on the game field 3, has a roughly quadrilateral shape with rounded corners. The base 251 of the figure 25 can also be configured to have a roughly circular shape when placed on the surface of the derivative card 24. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 8It can be seen that the base 251 of the figure 25 is arranged in a roughly circular shape on the surface where the derivative card 24 is positioned. The derivative card 24 can also be configured such that its thickness is thinner than the base 251 of the figure 25. (Refer to...) Figure 8 The base 251 of figure 25 has a specified thickness.

[0071] Alternatively, derivative card 24 may contain either the character from unit card 21 or the character from driver card 22, while figure 25 may contain only the character from unit card 21. (See reference...) Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that both Derivative Card 24 and Figurine 25 contain the character from Unit Card 21.

[0072] The derivative card 24 can also be configured such that, with the figure 25 placed on top of the derivative card 24, the level information 241 and cost information 242 contained in the character information 240 of the derivative card 24 can be visually confirmed.

[0073] Alternatively, the derivative card 24, which is configured with the figure 25, can be used as a unit card 21. (See reference...) Figure 1 The token card 24, which is configured with figure 25, is placed in the battle zone 31 on the first player's side of the game arena 3. However, the token card 24 configured with figure 25 is in place of the corresponding unit card 21. This is the following state: when... Figure 2 When the unit card 21 of "Character A" is placed in its own battle zone 31 in the game arena 3, the corresponding card is used. Figure 8 The figure of "Character A" is 25. Figure 7 The derivative card 24 of "Character A" is used instead of the unit card 21 to be placed in its own battle zone 31 in the game arena 3.

[0074] In addition, game media and game items may also contain identification information used to identify each game media and game item. Identification information may include, for example, information indicating serial numbers, rarity, etc.

[0075] Figure 9 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a game venue according to one embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The following describes the various areas included in the game arena 3. The game arena is configured to accommodate game media and game items. The game arena 3 includes multiple areas, and at least includes a battle area 31, a deck area 32, an EX base area 33, a base area 34, a resource deck area 35, a resource area 36, ​​a discard area 37, and a rule record area 38. The game arena 3 may also have a battle area 31 and a deck area 32 formed at least at one end of the game arena 3.

[0076] The game arena 3 includes open and closed areas. Cards 2 placed in the open area on the first player's side of the game arena 3 can be visually recognized by a second player, who may be their opponent. Conversely, cards 2 placed in the closed area on the first player's side of the game arena 3 can be visually recognized by a second player, who may not be their opponent. For example, the battle zone 31 of the game arena 3 is an open area, and cards 2 placed face up in the battle zone 31 on the first player's side can be visually recognized by a second player. However, the deck area 32 of the game arena 3 is a closed area, and cards 2 placed face down in the deck area 32 on the first player's side cannot be visually recognized by a second player.

[0077] Battle Zone 31 is used to configure Unit Card 21, Pilot Card 22, Token Card 24, and Figurine 25, etc. Deck Zone 32 is used to configure the cards 2 that make up Deck 4 face down and in a bundle. EX Base Zone 33 is used to configure Base Card 23, etc. Base Zone 34 is used to configure Base Card 23, etc. Resource Deck Zone 35 is used to configure Resource Card 26 face down and in a bundle. Resource Zone 36 is used to configure Resource Card 26. Discard Zone 37 is used to configure Used Card 2, Card 2 whose durability (HP) has been reduced to 0 or below due to attack, etc. Rule Record Zone 38 contains information related to the rules of the battle game, and may also contain information related to each stage of the battle game's progression (1) to (5) as described later.

[0078] The following describes the preparation, progress, and outcome of the battle game involved in this embodiment.

[0079] <Preparation for the Battle Game>

[0080] Reference Figure 1 To illustrate the preparation for the battle game, the first player and the second player, who will be their opponent, each prepare various game media and items. In this embodiment, such as...

In this embodiment, each player prepares a deck 4 of 50 cards and a resource deck 5 of 10 cards. Each player configures the game arena 3. Each player shuffles their decks 4 and arranges their deck 4 in their own deck area 32 in the game arena 3 with the cards 2 facing down. Each player arranges their own resource deck 5 in their own resource deck area 35 in the game arena 3 with the resource cards 26 facing down.

[0081] <Progress of the battle game>

[0082] The progress of the battle game is explained. The first player and the second player, who is the opponent, decide who goes first and who goes second. Each round consists of the phases (1) to (5) below. The rounds are repeated in turn starting with the player who goes first until the winner of the battle game is determined.

[0083] (1) Initial stage

[0084] The player whose turn it is activates the dormant Card 2 cards placed in each of their zones in the game arena 3. If the effect information of Card 2 in the game arena 3 contains an effect that states "at the start of the turn", then that effect is activated at this time.

[0085] (2) Resource Stage

[0086] The player whose turn it is, selects one resource card 26 from resource deck 5 and places it into resource zone 36 in an active state.

[0087] (3) Card Drawing Phase

[0088] The player whose turn it is draws 1 card 2 from deck 4 and adds it to hand 6.

[0089] (4) Main Phase

[0090] The following (A) to (C) show an example of the actions a player can take during the main phase. Therefore, the actions a player can take during the main phase are not limited to these.

[0091] (A) Play card 2 from hand 6.

[0092] The player whose turn it is can play card 2 from hand card 6. That is, place unit card 21 in combat zone 31, place pilot card 22 overlapping with unit card 21 placed in combat zone 31, place base card 23 in base zone 34, etc.

[0093] (B) Use of effect information

[0094] If the effect described in the effect information of card 2 in game field 3 can be performed, then that effect can be activated.

[0095] (C) Unit Attack

[0096] It can attack the opponent's side using unit cards 21 that were active in its own battle zone 31 before the current turn, and link units that were active in its own battle zone 31 during the current turn. Depending on whether there are unit cards 21, pilot cards 22, and base cards 23 in the opponent's game arena 3 (battle zone 31, EX base zone 33, and base zone 34), and if so, whether the card 2 is active or dormant, it determines which card 2 can be set as the target of attack.

[0097] (5) End Phase

[0098] When the player whose turn it is declares the end of the main phase, the end phase begins. Following the established rules, both the player whose turn it is and the players whose turn it is perform the necessary actions.

[0099] <Winning or Losing in a Battle Game>

[0100] The rules for winning and losing in the battle game are explained below. If a player attacks their opponent directly using unit card 21 when the opponent has zero cards of card 2 in their EX base areas 33 and 34, that player wins the battle game, and the opponent loses. Conversely, if a player has zero cards of card 2 in their deck 4, they lose the battle game, and their opponent wins.

[0101] In the above explanation, the definition of the back of card 2 is used as a common feature of all cards 2, but the definitions of the front and back can also be opposite.
