[First Embodiment]

[Game Overview]
First, an outline of an example of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game which concerns on this embodiment is a game played using the game object which a user possesses, for example, is a battle game which battles with an opponent. A game object is a card corresponding to each of a plurality of characters, for example. 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 (such as a text, a still image, or a moving image). Specifically, the card is a card representing a character that battles with an enemy character that is an opponent in the game, and is displayed as an image on the game screen.

  Although a battle game is taken as an example here, the game is not limited to a battle game, and may be another type of game such as a baseball game, a soccer game, an RPG game, or a breeding game. Further, the game object is not limited to the card, and may be other objects 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 the battle game according to the present embodiment, a plurality of cards that can be used for the battle are given to the user as the game progresses. For example, a card is given to a user as a reward when winning a game battle, or given to a user by performing a card lottery (so-called gacha). The user possesses a plurality of given cards and can select a character card to be battled from among the possessed cards. Cards include those indicating weapons and armor that have an effect on the attack and defense of characters in battles, in addition to those indicating characters. The user possesses a card representing a weapon or armor in the same manner as a card representing a character, and can select a card to be used for a battle from the possessed cards.

Cards possessed by the user (hereinafter also referred to as “owned cards”) include those that have been set in advance as possessed cards at the time of the start of play and those that are acquired after the play has started. That the initial setting possession card is insufficient card is advantageously advance the game a lot, the user depending on whether can get a good card to go in after the start of play, a great influence on the progress of the game. After the start of play, the user can acquire a card by card lottery, for example.

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

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

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a card lottery image displayed on a card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. When the card lottery is executed, 14 cards selected by the lottery are presented as in a card lottery screen G10 shown in the drawing. Here, 14 lottery cards are indicated by cards A to N for convenience, but actually, the card information of each lottery card is displayed. These 14 cards are cards that can be selected by the user as cards to be given to the user (that is, card options that the user can acquire). Here, the user can select three cards one by one from 14 cards in one lottery. Each selection of the first sheet, the second sheet, and the third sheet can be selected in accordance with the order of preset stages from options divided into three stages corresponding to each selection. Here, it is divided into three stages: the first option, the second option, and the third option. Each selection of the first, second, and third options is the first option. The second option, the second option, and the third option can be selected in this order. In the example shown in the figure, the first option is two cards A and B. The second choice is four cards C to F. The third choice is 8 cards GN.

  2 cards for the 1st option, 4 cards for the 2nd option, and 8 cards for the 3rd option, starting from the bottom “Start”, the route of selection indicated by the arrow Are arranged in the order of lower, middle and upper in an inverted tree structure (hierarchical structure branching from bottom to top). The route information is information indicating an association between a plurality of cards, and indicates the order when the user selects a card and rules such as selectable / impossible. That is, the card options are limited based on this route information. For example, the route information is information indicating the route from the selected one card to the next selectable card, and the second card that can be selected by the first selection is the second choice. The card that can be selected for the third card is limited to one of the options for the third card. That is, the card that can be selected next to the selected card is a card connected to the selected card by route information. A card that is not connected to the selected card by route information cannot be selected. The route information has a direction (the direction of the arrow), and the direction of the arrow indicates the order of selection. Cards connected to the end of the arrow can be selected, but cards connected in the opposite direction of the arrow cannot be selected. In the following description, connecting to the tip of an arrow of route information is also simply referred to as connecting with route information. Note that the route information displayed on the card lottery screen is more specifically “information that allows the association between cards based on route information (association information) indicating association between a plurality of cards” to be displayed. In the embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the information including the visible information is also simply referred to as “route information”.

  In the illustrated example, the first selectable card with “Start” as the starting point is a card A and a card B that are connected to “Start” by route information. The second choice is four cards C to F, but if card A is selected as the first card, two cards C and D connected by card A and route information are two. When the card B is selected as the first card, the card E and the card F connected to the card B by route information become the second selectable card.

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

  The user selects the first option (for example, cards A and B), the second option (for example, cards C to F), and the third option (for example, card G) among the 14 cards that are selected by lottery. To N), one card is selected from each selectable card according to the route information. Thereby, the selected three cards are given to the user.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of selecting a lottery card on the card lottery screen. On the card lottery screen G20 shown in the figure, first, the card A is selected from the two cards A and B as the first selection. When the first card A is selected, the only cards that can be selected as the next second card are the cards C and D connected to the card A by route information, and route information such as the card E and the card F. Cards that are not connected with cannot be selected. It is also not possible to skip the second option and select the third option card G or card H. In the illustrated example, the card D is selected from the two cards C and D as the second selection, and the card I is selected from the two cards I and J as the third selection. ing. The selected card A, card D, and card I are given to the user, and no other cards are given.

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

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, cards that cannot be selected may be displayed in a dark state. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a card lottery screen when dark-displaying a card that cannot be selected. The illustrated card lottery screen G30 is in a state where the card A is selected as the first selection, and only the cards C and D can be selected as the second selection. Therefore, the card B and the cards E to N that cannot be selected are displayed in dark. Since the card A has been selected, the display mode (for example, highlighting) indicating that the card A has been selected is displayed. Note that the display is not limited to dark display, and a card that cannot be selected may be displayed in gray, displayed with reduced contrast, or may not be displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, if there is no route that rejoins after branching in the route information of the cards arranged in the reverse tree structure, the second card, The first card is also confirmed. Therefore, when the specification for the third card is initially selectable by the user, the second card and the first card are automatically determined without the user's selection by the user selecting the third card. May be.

  Moreover, in the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the card lottery screen is basically displayed by displaying information of each card. The card information is information indicating the contents of the card, such as the name of the card (character name, etc.) and the parameters of the card (rareity, attack power, defense power, etc.). As a result, the user selects the card he / she wants to acquire in consideration of which route will be selected based on the information and the contents of the card when the three cards are finally acquired will be improved. Can improve the preference of lottery.

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

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

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

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

  For example, the game control unit 110 includes an operation reception unit 111, a lottery request unit 112, a lottery result acquisition unit 113, a display control unit 114, and a selection result transmission unit 115. The operation reception unit 111 receives a user operation on the input unit 13. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 14 to display various game screens corresponding to game processing (for example, battle game processing) executed according to the content of the user operation received by the operation receiving unit 111. Various game screens include a home screen displayed when the game is started, a card selection screen for selecting a card to be used for a battle from possession cards, an item purchase screen for purchasing items used in the game, enemy characters And battle screens for performing battles are included.

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

  The predetermined condition for enabling the card lottery is, for example, that the card lottery has not been executed on the day if the specification allows the card lottery once a day. Card lottery may be possible on condition that consumption of points acquired by battle or consumption of in-game currency (which may be exchanged for real-world currency) is used. In addition, card lottery may be possible on condition that a predetermined fee is paid. Moreover, the specification in which a card lottery is unconditionally possible may be sufficient.

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

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

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

  The selection result transmission unit 115 transmits card selection information (for example, option ID) indicating the selected card to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12 based on the user's selection operation on the card lottery screen. In addition, the display control unit 114 updates the display mode of the card selected based on the selection operation (see FIG. 2). Further, the display control unit 114 may darkly display a card (option) that cannot be selected next to the card selected based on the selection operation (see FIG. 3).

  In addition, the game control unit 110 transmits various setting information and history information according to game processing to the game server 30 via the communication unit 12, and transmits various setting information and history information to the communication unit 12 as necessary. Via the game server 30.

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

  Here, various game 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 possessed card data storage unit 353, an item data storage unit 354, and a lottery data storage unit 355.

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

  The card master data storage unit 352 stores master data (card master data) of cards prepared in the game. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a data example of card master data stored in the card master data storage unit 352. In the illustrated card master data, card information such as a card ID, usage, card name, card image, rarity, attribute, and character parameter is set in association with each other.

  The card ID is identification information that can be identified for each type of card. For example, as card types, cards having different card names or cards having the same card name but different rarity are identified as different types of cards. The usage is classified according to the usage of the card in the game, and a character, weapon, armor, or the like is set as indicated by each card. The card name is the name of each card and is the name of a character, weapon, armor or the like. The card image is an image representing at least a part of the character (weapon, armor, etc.) aspects (appearance, shape, name, etc.) of each card, and is, for example, an illustration drawn on the card. The rarity is an index indicating the rarity of each card, and is divided into five levels of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in order from the lowest to the highest, for example. The higher the rarity card, the higher the value for the user, and the higher the attack power and defense power, or the higher the upper limit value. By using a card with high rarity, the user is more likely to proceed with the battle. For example, in the card lottery, a card selection ratio may be set according to the rarity. The attribute is information indicating an attack that the character of the card indicating the character is good at. For example, the attribute is associated with any one of fire, water, and wood, which are superior to each other. For example, if a water character attacks a fire character, the water character can do a great deal of damage. If a water character attacks, a water character can do a great deal of damage. If you attack, you can do a lot of damage.

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

  The possession card data storage unit 353 stores possession card data for managing cards possessed by each user. For example, the possessed card data is associated with the user ID of the user, the serial number (serial number) of the card possessed by the user, the card ID, the card name, the card image, the rarity, the character parameter, and the like. Stored. The serial number is a number uniquely assigned to each card, and is information that can identify each card in the game. Even if the cards have the same card ID, if they have a plurality of cards, different serial numbers are associated with each other. The card ID, card name, card image, rarity, and character parameters store the master data value (initial value) of the card when the card is given to the user. As the game progresses, the value of the character parameter of the possessed card data is updated as needed.

  The item data storage unit 354 stores data related to items given to the user for benefits, rewards, and the like. The item includes, for example, a recovery item having an effect of recovering the decreased HP value, a lottery ticket for obtaining a lottery right, and the like.

  The lottery data storage unit 355 stores lottery data related to route selection lottery. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a data example of lottery data stored in the lottery data storage unit 355. For example, in the lottery data, an option ID, route information, a lottery card ID, a selection order parameter, an option flag, and the like are associated and stored. The option ID is identification information for identifying a card to be given (ie, an option) selected by a plurality of lotteries. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, 14 option IDs A to N are set for each of 14 options of the cards A to N. The route information stores, as information indicating association between a plurality of cards, option IDs of cards (options) associated with the cards (options) identified by the option IDs. For example, in the route information of the option ID “A”, option IDs “C” and “D” of the options (cards C and D) connected to the option (card A) by the route information are stored. As route information indicating the route from the start to the first option, the route information of the option ID “START (start)” includes the option ID “A” of the options (cards A and B) connected by the start and route information. "And" B "are stored. These route information stores, for example, preset values. The route information may store not only the option IDs of the options shown on the left connected by the route information but also the source and destination option IDs connected by the route information.

  Note that a plurality of types of route information may be set in the route information. In this case, when the route selection lottery is executed, one of the plurality of types of route information is selected. Also good. The route information selection method may be selected according to a predetermined rule (for example, route information is selected based on the number of lotteries) or may be selected randomly.

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

  Based on the above-described option ID, route information, and lottery card ID information, a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen shown in FIG. 1 is generated.

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

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

For example, the lottery processing unit 311 includes a presentation unit 312, a selection unit 313, an option determination unit 314, and a grant unit 315.
The presentation unit 312 presents a plurality of cards selected by lottery and route information indicating association between the plurality of cards. For example, when the lottery is performed based on the lottery request information transmitted from the user terminal 10 and a plurality of cards as options are selected, the presenting unit 312 displays lottery data corresponding to the lottery result. The lottery result information based on the lottery data is transmitted to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 32. Thereby, in the user terminal 10, a card lottery image including a plurality of cards selected by lottery and route information indicating association between the plurality of cards is displayed on the card lottery screen based on the lottery result information. .

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

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

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

  The grant unit 315 grants the card selected by the selection unit 313 to the user. For example, the granting unit 315 associates the card ID of the card selected by the selection unit 313 with the user ID of the user and stores it in the possessed card data of the possessed card data storage unit 353. As a result, the user can use the assigned card as a possession card in play.

[Lottery operation]
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the operation | movement of the route selection lottery process which the lottery process part 311 of the game server 30 performs is demonstrated. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of route selection lottery processing according to the present embodiment.

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

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

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

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

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

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S112 that a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards has been selected (YES), the lottery processing unit 311 uses the selected predetermined number (for example, three) of cards to the user. To grant. For example, the lottery processing unit 311 associates the card IDs of a predetermined number of selected cards (for example, three cards) with the user ID of the user, stores the card ID in the possessed card data in the possessed card data storage unit 353, and updates it. .

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

  Thereby, the game server 30 is based on the route information of the card | curd selected immediately before and another card | curd, when a user selects the card | curd provided to a user among the several cards selected by lottery in order. Next, in order to determine a selectable card, the user selects a better card among the options limited by the route information, and it is possible to improve the preference of the lottery in the game.

  For example, the selection unit 313 selects a predetermined number (for example, three) of cards by sequentially selecting cards (an example of an object) based on a user's selection operation. Thereby, since the game server 30 gives the user a predetermined number of cards selected by the user himself, the possibility that the user can acquire a desired card is increased, and the user's willingness to draw can be increased. Further, the game server 30 limits the number of cards that can be acquired by the user (for example, cards that can be acquired by one lottery) to a predetermined number, so that the importance of selection increases compared to the case where there is no limit. Can be increased.

  A plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery are divided into a plurality of stages, and can be selected in the order of preset stages. Thereby, the game server 30 does not select a predetermined number of cards from the entire lottery card, but selects the cards in the order of the steps from the cards divided by the steps. Cards are selected while taking into consideration the route of cards that can be selected in the subsequent stages, so that it is possible to enhance the preference of lottery in the game.

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

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

  For example, the presentation unit 312 of the lottery processing unit 311 presents a part or all of information on at least some of the plurality of cards selected by lottery without disclosure.

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

  In addition, the card information is not disclosed for some of the options to be selected for the second sheet, but only some information of the card information is disclosed. Specifically, the locations corresponding to the cards C and E shown in FIG. 1 are “?”, But only the rarity of the card is indicated by the “★” mark (which indicates the rarity by the number of ★). It is displayed as you can see. Note that some of the information disclosed may be specific parameters such as attributes and attack power in addition to rarity. In this way, when a card whose part or all of the card information is not disclosed is included in the options, if the desired card is not found in the disclosed card, the user desires the undisclosed card. Can also be selected.

  Note that the presentation unit 312 discloses all information of a card whose information is not disclosed partially or after the selection is confirmed by the user's selection operation. For example, since the selection is not confirmed even when the selection confirmation screen GP10 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, a card in which part or all of the card information is not disclosed is similarly undisclosed. Since the selection is confirmed when the user performs a tap operation on the selection confirmation button B1, the presentation unit 312 may disclose information that has not been disclosed. Alternatively, the presentation unit 312 may disclose information that has not been disclosed at the time when the selected card is given to the user after all of a predetermined number (for example, three) have been selected.

  In addition, the lottery processing unit 311 displays the card whose card information is not disclosed in advance (in the card lottery screen) in the same manner as other cards (cards partially or entirely disclosed in the card information). The card is drawn in the previous) to determine what card it is. However, the lottery processing unit 311 is not limited to this, and the lottery processing unit 311 performs lottery when a user selects a card for which the entire card information is not disclosed in advance without performing lottery. It may be determined whether it exists.

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

  For example, in the case of lottery (step-up) in which the merit for the user increases as the number of times increases, such as the probability of discharging a high-value card increases as the number of lotteries increases, the presentation unit 312 increases the number of lotteries. As it becomes, the number of non-disclosure cards may be reduced (that is, the first non-disclosure card may be gradually disclosed at each lottery). Or the presentation part 312 may increase the quantity of the one part information disclosed in a non-disclosure card, as the frequency | count of a lottery increases.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a card lottery screen that has been stepped up. For example, if the example shown in FIG. 12 is the N-th lottery (N is a natural number), the non-disclosure information is changed in the N + 1 first lottery as shown in FIG. For example, a card N that has not been disclosed in the Nth lottery is disclosed in the N + 1 first lottery. Further, in the location corresponding to the card C shown in FIG. 1, only information on the rarity was disclosed in the N + 1 first lottery, but in the N + 1 first lottery, an attack power parameter (here, “1600”) is disclosed. ) Is disclosed. As the number of lotteries increases, all card information may eventually be disclosed. In addition, all cards may be undisclosed at first. In this way, if the information to be disclosed is increased according to the number of lotteries, it becomes easier to obtain a desired card, so that the user's willingness to continue lottery can be increased.

  Note that the presentation unit 312 has information or non-disclosure disclosed on at least some of the cards based on the number of cards given to the user (the number of cards associated with the user ID) instead of the number of lotteries. Information to be changed may be changed. An increase in the number of cards given to the user corresponds to an increase in the number of lotteries described above. In this case as well, according to the number of cards given to the user, if the disclosed information is increased, it becomes easier to obtain a desired card, so that the user's willingness to continue lottery increases. can do.

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

[Summary of Second Embodiment]
As described above, in the game server 30 (an example of a game device) according to the present embodiment, the presentation unit 312 has at least a part of a plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery. Present some or all of the information without disclosure.

  Thereby, the game server 30 includes a card whose information is partially or completely undisclosed as an option, so that when there is no user's desired card in the card whose information is disclosed, the game server 30 becomes a non-disclosure card. Since the user can also make a choice as desired, the preference of the lottery in the game can be improved.

  For example, the presentation unit 312 determines the number of lotteries or the number of cards (an example of an object) associated with identification information (for example, user ID) for identifying the user (that is, the number of cards given to the user). Based on this, information to be disclosed about at least some cards or information to be undisclosed may be changed.

  As a result, the game server 30 increases the amount of information disclosed on the card as the lottery is performed, making it easier to obtain a desired card. Therefore, the user can increase the willingness to continue the lottery.

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

  In this way, a plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery are divided into a plurality of stages and can be selected according to the order of preset stages, and the presentation unit 312 can determine the number of lotteries or a user Disclosure or non-disclosure of information may be determined for each stage based on the number of cards (that is, the number of cards given to the user) associated with identification information (for example, user ID) for identifying .

  Thereby, the game server 30 increases the willingness of the user to continue the lottery because the number of cards whose information is disclosed increases at each stage and the desired card becomes easier to acquire as the lottery is performed. Can do.

  A plurality of cards (an example of an object) selected by lottery may be divided into a large number (for example, 15). In that case, since the cards (options) of all stages cannot be displayed on the card lottery screen at a time, the presentation unit 312 displays only a part of the stages including the stage where the user performs the selection operation. The displayed portion may be scrolled as the user selects. In this case, the portion of the card that is not displayed may correspond to a non-disclosure card.

  Conversely, the presentation unit 312 may increase the information that is not disclosed as the number of lotteries is increased. Instead, the value such as the rarity of the drawn cards may be high. By doing so, it is possible to give the user a sense of expectation for the card that can be acquired.

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

  In the first and second embodiments described above, in the route indicated by the route information, the route once branched does not rejoin, but a route to rejoin may be set. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. The example shown in the figure is different from the example shown in FIG. 1 in that there is a re-merging route from the card B to the card D and a re-merging route from the card E to the card M. That is, the card M is a route that only passes through the card F in the example shown in FIG. 1, but can also pass through the card E in the example shown in FIG. Similarly, the card D is a route only via the card A in the example shown in FIG. 1. However, the card D can also be routed via the card B in the example shown in FIG. When a re-merging route is provided in this way, a plurality of route routes exist for card selection. By doing in this way, the width | variety of the route selection at the time of a user selecting a card | curd can be expanded.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 15, selectable cards are determined for each of the first, second, third, etc. Nth sheets, but the order of such selection is not particularly determined. May be. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a card lottery image displayed on the card lottery screen when the order of selection is not determined. In the illustrated example, there are a re-merging route from the card D to the card E, a re-merging route from the card B to the card N, and a re-merging route from the card N to the card M. In such a case, for example, card A, card D, card E can be selected in the order of card A, card D, card E regardless of the order of selection of the first, second, and third cards. It is also possible to select N and card M in this order. The card E can be selected second (in the order of card B, card E) or third (in order of card A, card D, card E). By doing in this way, the width | variety of the route selection at the time of a user selecting a card | curd can be expanded further.

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

  In the above embodiment, it is assumed that three cards are selected by one lottery. However, lottery may be performed many times by dividing into one unit. In that case, for example, the value for one lottery may be 1/3. Conversely, the number of times that selection can be made by increasing the price may be increased. For example, after selecting 3 cards, pay a predetermined fee or consume in-game currency to select a 4th card (or 5th card, 6th card ...) In that case, if there are no more routes to select, you may return to the start and loop, in which case the already selected card is the next card that you skipped. May be selectable.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining a card selection example on the card lottery screen according to the present embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, after the user selects the card A in the first sheet, the card D in the second sheet, and the card I in the third sheet, an additional 1 is obtained by paying a predetermined fee or consuming in-game currency. Selectable. However, after card I, there is no more route to be selected, so the process returns to the start. In this case, three options are selectable: a card B, a card C in which the already selected card A is skipped, and a card J in which the already selected card A and card D are skipped. In the illustrated example, the card C is selected as the fourth card. In this way, it is possible to acquire all desired cards depending on the number of lotteries. Therefore, according to this embodiment, a user's willingness to perform a lottery can be increased. Further, if the lottery is repeated by additionally paying a predetermined fee or consuming the in-game currency, all of the lottery cards (for example, all 14 cards) can be acquired.

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

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

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

  When changing the association between a plurality of cards, the presentation unit 312 may change the route information by shuffling instead of or in addition to shuffling the arrangement of the cards. For example, the presenting unit 312 may change only the route information between the cards without changing the arrangement of the cards, or may change both the arrangement of the cards and the route information between the cards.

  For example, in the card arrangement and route information shown in FIG. 1, when both the card G and the card N are desired by the user, only one of them can be acquired. Depending on the result of shuffling, there is a possibility that both can be acquired.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the predetermined change condition is satisfied, the presentation unit 312 changes the association between a plurality of presented cards, thereby providing a user with an expectation that a desired card can be acquired. Can be given. In addition, depending on the result of shuffling, the result may be less preferable for the user than before the shuffle. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to consider whether or not to perform shuffle, or the timing for performing shuffle, and the like of the lottery in the game can be improved.

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

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

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a data example of privilege data according to the present embodiment. In the privilege data shown in the figure, route ID, route information, and privilege are associated with each other. The route ID is identification information for identifying the route. The route information stores route information of the route ID (option IDs of cards connected by the route information). In the privilege, information (for example, item ID in the case of an item) indicating the privilege that is set is stored only in the route for which the privilege is set. This privilege data is stored in the lottery data storage unit 355 in addition to the lottery data. The granting unit 315 refers to the privilege data, and when the selection order of the cards selected by the user according to the user's selection operation is via the route for which the privilege is set, the privilege set for the route is displayed. Give.

  As described above, the route information (an example of association information) is information indicating a route (route) from a selected card (an example of an object) to a next selectable card. When a plurality of cards are sequentially selected via a specific route, the unit) grants a privilege set for the specific route. Thereby, the game server 30 not only allows the user to sequentially select a card to be given from among a plurality of cards selected by the lottery, but also gives a privilege according to the route at the time of selection.
