In such a competition game, the player acquires a plurality of game cards in accordance with the progress of the game, and a game card associated with a character and a game card of another character set in advance. Card synthesis is performed to evolve a character into another strong character or to raise the character level. Note that card synthesis that evolves a character into another strong character is called evolutionary synthesis, and card synthesis that raises the level of a character (eg, hit point or numerical value of defense) is called reinforcement synthesis.

  In addition, the following techniques have been proposed in order to elaborate the battle game using the game card.

  By making the game card possessed by the user (player) exchangeable with other new game cards according to the player's request based on the card discrimination data and the exchange condition data, a plurality of game cards of the same type are owned Even then, there has been proposed a game card exchange system which enables card exchange simply and easily without diminishing the player's willingness to play games and the desire to collect cards (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  It is possible to set the use condition of the game card, for example, read the number of times the game card has been used up to now, and when the number of uses preset as the use condition is reached, the game system can not use the game card. It is proposed (for example, refer patent document 2).

The game card storage unit 22 stores a game card name 221, a character name or item name 222, and an attribute 223 in association with each other. Here, the characters are characters, monsters, animals and the like in the competition game. The items are jewelry, ornaments such as necklaces, and the like. The attribute 223 is information indicating whether it is a character or an item. For example, if the attribute is "0", it is a character, and if the attribute is "1", it is an item.

  The card combination combination storage unit 23 has a game card (first game card) which is one of a plurality of game cards stored in the game card storage unit 22 and a game card to be subjected to card combination of the game card. It is a storage unit that stores a combination with (the second game card) (target of card composition). The card composition can be understood as a broad concept related to the composition of a game card including the above described evolutionary composition and reinforcement composition etc. However, in the first embodiment and each of the following embodiments, the card composition is The case of evolutionary synthesis will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example (only game card A) of information stored in the card combination combination storage unit 23. The card combination combination storage unit 23 is a game card associated with characters to be evolved An evolution game card (first game card in the first embodiment) 231, and a game card which is a combination of evolution synthesis for evolving characters of the evolution game card 231 (second in the first embodiment) A combination of a game card) and an evolved game card 233 associated with the evolved character is stored. For example, when the game card A to which the first character (not shown) is associated is an evolution game card, evolution synthesis is performed by combining the game card A, the game card a and the game card b, and after evolution The setting is stored as the game card AA to which the second character (not shown) is associated. The combination of evolutionary combination may include not only the game card with which the character is associated but also the game card with which the item is associated, or only the game card with which the item is associated. Further, the second game card to be a combination of evolutionary synthesis is not limited to the two game cards described above, but may be one game card or three or more game cards.

  The expiration date storage unit 24 is a storage unit that stores, for each game card, an expiration date (a condition related to card combination) for changing the content of the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis. In the first embodiment, at least an evolvable character may be set to be associated with the evolution game card. FIG. 5 is a view showing an example (only the game card A) of the information stored in the expiration date storage unit 24. As shown in FIG. The expiration date 242 is set in the expiration date storage unit 24 in association with the game card name 241. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the expiration date start and the expiration date end are set in the expiration date 242. In the case of the game card A, the expiration date start is the game start, and the expiration date end is when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the game. The start of the expiration date is not limited to the game start, but may be, for example, when a predetermined event occurs, when the player holds a game card, or when a predetermined item is obtained. In addition, the expiration date may not be a predetermined time, but may be when a predetermined event ends, when a predetermined item is used, or the like.

  The card combining process content storage unit 25 performs a first process which is a card combining process executed when the conditions set for the evolution game card are satisfied when the evolution combining instruction of evolution combination is issued, and the first process It is a storage unit that stores a second process that is a card combining process that is executed when the condition is not satisfied. In the first embodiment, the case where the expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 is applied as the condition will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example (only game card A) of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25 and is a diagram of the card composition process (first and second processes) before and after the expiration date. The settings are stored. The setting of the card composition process is set, for example, for each game card associated with an evolvable character. In the case of game card A, the setting of the evolution and synthesis process is “card synthesis success probability 100%” (the first process) before the expiration date is over, “card synthesis success probability 5%” after the expiration date It is the second process). In other words, the combination process before the expiration date is set to be more useful to the player than the combination process after the expiration date.

Next, the mobile terminal device 30 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of the mobile terminal device 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the mobile terminal device 30 is configured by connecting a control unit 31, a communication interface 32, an audio output unit 33, a storage unit 34, and a touch panel unit 35 to a bus line 36.

  The control unit 31 is composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and the like, and executes an application and the like stored in the storage unit 34 to process a battle game in which a game card is used in addition to the function as a general web client. It is configured to realize the function. The communication interface 32 controls communication with the web server device 10 via the network 2. The storage unit 14 is formed of, for example, a plurality of small HDDs, and stores the game control program 41 in addition to storing an application (not shown) and data for realizing a general web client function. Further, the storage unit 34 has a player information storage unit 42.

  The game control program 41 is a native application for realizing a battle game in which a game card is used, and transmits a request to the web server device 10, receives a response of the request, and executes processing based on the response. It is a program.

  The player information storage unit 42 stores player information (for example, a game play time, a game card to be held, information on other players constituting a team, and the like) of players relating to the competitive game. The player information may be managed by the web server device 10 alone or may be managed by overlapping the portable terminal device 30 and the web server device 10, or the portable terminal device 30 and the web server device 10 You may share and manage.

  The touch panel unit 35 includes a display unit 43 for displaying to the player, an input unit 44 for receiving an instruction from the player, and the like. For example, when the player advances the battle game while visually recognizing the game content displayed on the display unit 43, and performs evolutionary synthesis, the synthesis button of the menu screen on the input unit 44, and then, the evolutionary synthesis button described later 52 is input, the evolution synthesis screen is displayed on the display unit 43, and the evolution synthesis operation is performed based on the display of the evolution synthesis screen.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing an example of the evolutionary synthesis screen displayed on the display unit 43 of the mobile terminal device 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, on the lower side of the display screen, a plurality of substantially rectangular buttons (home, quest, composition, shop, menu) 51 for switching to another screen are arranged in a horizontal row. On the upper side of the plurality of buttons 51, an evolution synthesis button 52 for instructing synthesis of evolution synthesis is arranged. The evolution synthesis button 52 has a slightly wider shape so that the player can easily find it, and differentiation with the button 51 for switching the screen is achieved. A holding card unit 53 is provided on the upper side of the evolution synthesis button 52. The holding card unit 53 displays one column of the game card held by the player. In FIG. 8, 15 sheets of 5 sheets × 3 rows at the maximum are displayed at one time. Above the holding card portion 53, a material card portion 54 is provided. In FIG. 8, five sheets of one by five are available. In the material card portion 54, the game card of the character, which is a combination of evolutionary synthesis of the character to be evolved, is arranged by the player.

  An evolution game card placement unit 55, an item display unit 56, and an information display unit 57 are disposed on the upper side of the material card unit 54 from the left side in the drawing. In the evolution game card placement unit 55, a game card to which a character to be evolved is associated is placed by the player. The item display unit 56 displays the item when the item used for the evolutionary synthesis is obtained. The information display unit 57 displays various pieces of information on evolutionary synthesis. For example, when the game card is arranged in the evolution game card placement unit 55, the information display unit 57 displays other characters necessary for the evolution synthesis of the character of the game card, or displays the expiration date of the evolution synthesis. Or, display the setting contents of the synthesis process before and after the expiration date of the evolutionary synthesis. In addition, the setting regarding the information displayed on the information display part 57 can be set arbitrarily.

  Next, evolution and synthesis processing in the game system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. FIG. 9 is an example of a flowchart showing evolution and synthesis processing, and FIG. 10 is an example of a sub-flow chart showing details of the synthesis processing (step S109 of FIG. 9).

  The player is advancing the competition game while visually recognizing the game content displayed on the display unit 43, and while the competition game is in progress, the player has already described the player from the home screen of one portable terminal device 30 in the team 30a. When the composite button is input (ST101), a request indicating the input content is transmitted to the web server device 10, and the web server device 10 transmits a response for displaying the composite screen based on the request to the mobile terminal device 30. Send to Based on this response, the portable terminal device 30 displays on the display unit 43 a query as to whether it is evolutionary synthesis or enhanced synthesis (ST 102). When instructed by the player to be evolutionary synthesis, a request indicating the instruction is transmitted to the web server device 10 again. In response to this, the web server device 10 transmits, to the portable terminal device 30, a response for displaying the evolutionary composition screen based on the request. Based on this response, the mobile terminal device 30 displays an evolutionary synthesis screen on the display unit 43 (ST103, see: FIG. 8). At this time, the portable terminal device 30 refers to the player information storage unit 42 and displays one column of the game card held by the player on the holding card unit 53.

  Next, a character to be evolved is selected by the player from among the characters displayed in the holding card unit 53. Then, the game card of the character is moved to the evolution game card placement unit 55, and the evolution game card is selected (ST104). As a result, a request indicating information for selecting the evolution game card is transmitted to the web server device 10. The web server device 10 acquires information (combination of evolutionary combination, expiration date, content of combination processing, etc.) regarding the evolutionary combination of the game card selected as the evolutionary game card, and transmits the information as a response to the portable terminal device 30. . In response to this, the portable terminal device 30 displays information on evolutionary synthesis on the information display unit 57 (ST105).

  Next, the game card of the character to be a combination of evolutionary combination among the game cards displayed in the holding card unit 53 is moved by the player to the material card unit 54 (ST106). If there is one character to be combined, one game card is moved, and if there are two or more characters to be combined, game cards according to the number are moved to the material card portion 54. By displaying the characters to be combined on the information display unit 57 in this manner, the player can smoothly select a game card and place a game card without making a mistake in combination characters.

  Next, the evolution synthesis button 52 is input by the player (ST 107). In response to this, the portable terminal device 30 transmits, as a request, information indicating the input of the evolution synthesis button 52, information of the game card disposed in the evolution game card placement unit 55 and the material card portion 54 to the web server device 10. . In response to the request, the web server device 10 determines whether evolution synthesis is possible. Specifically, the web server device 10 determines whether the information on the game card transmitted from the mobile terminal device 30 is correct as a combination of evolutionary combination based on the information stored in the card combination combination storage unit 23 (ST108).

  If it is determined that the combination of evolutionary synthesis is not correct (ST108: NO), the web server device 10 transmits a response for displaying an error to the portable terminal device 30. In the mobile terminal device 30, an error is displayed on the display unit 43, and, for example, the process returns to step S106 to accept the selection of the game card again.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the combination of evolutionary synthesis is correct (ST108: YES), the web server device 10 executes an evolutionary synthesis process (ST109). This combining process will be described with reference to the sub-flowchart of FIG.

  First, the web server device 10 acquires, from the expiration date storage unit 24, the expiration date set for the game card (evolution game card) disposed in the evolution game card placement unit 55 (ST 201). Next, the web server device 10 determines whether the timing at which the evolution synthesis button 52 has been input has passed the expiration date based on the game progress status of the player (for example, the game play time of the player) (ST 202) .

  If it is determined that the expiration date has not passed (ST202: YES), the web server device 10 refers to the card composition processing content storage unit 25 and performs evolutionary composition with a card composition success probability 100% (ST203). Since the card success probability is 100%, evolutionary synthesis always succeeds, and the character evolves. On the other hand, when it is determined that the expiration date has passed (ST 202: NO), the web server device 10 refers to the card composition processing content storage unit 25 and performs evolutionary composition with a card composition success probability 5% (ST 204). . Since the card synthesis success probability is 5%, the character may evolve, but in most cases it fails and the character does not evolve.

  After performing evolutionary synthesis (after ST203 or ST204), the web server device 10 transmits the evolutionary synthesis result as a response to the portable terminal device 30 (ST205). By this processing, the explanation of the sub-flowchart of FIG. 10 is completed, and the process returns to FIG.

  The portable terminal device 30 that has received the response from the web server device 10 displays the result of the evolutionary combining process on the display unit 43 (ST110). When displaying this evolutionary synthesis result on the display unit 43, the portable terminal device 30 outputs information representing success or failure based on whether the evolutionary synthesis is successful (display on the display unit 43 and audio output Output the voice by the unit 33). The player can visually recognize whether the evolution synthesis has succeeded or failed by the display and sound of the display unit 43.

  In the web server device 10 configured as described above, the evolution synthesis is performed based on whether or not the timing of the input (synthesis instruction) of the evolution synthesis button 52 has passed the expiration date set in the evolution game card. In order to change the synthesis process of the game from the first process to the second process, it is possible to make the player conscious of whether or not to perform evolutionary synthesis during game play, and to activate evolutionary synthesis according to the progress of the game. be able to.

  In addition, the web server device 10 is evolved such that the composition process (first process) before the expiration date passes becomes more valuable processing for the player than the combination process (second process) after the expiration date passes. The composition process is changing. More specifically, since the success rate of evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date is 100%, and the success probability of evolutionary synthesis after the expiration date is 5%, it is more effective before the expiration date. The success probability is set much higher than after the deadline. For this reason, it is possible to urge the player to perform evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date and to further activate the evolutionary synthesis.

  In addition, the web server device 10 includes information on evolutionary synthesis, for example, a combination of evolutionary synthesis, an expiration date (may be a time limit until the expiration date expires), and contents of evolution synthesis processing before and after expiration of the expiration date. It can be displayed on the 30 information display sections 57. Therefore, the player can visually recognize that it is more useful to perform evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date has passed. Therefore, it is possible to urge the player to perform evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date, and it is possible to further activate the evolutionary synthesis. Further, since the character that is the combination of evolutionary synthesis can be displayed, the player can surely grasp the combination of evolutionary synthesis, and the operation of evolutionary synthesis can be facilitated. Thus, stress-free evolutionary synthesis by the player leads to activation of evolutionary synthesis.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the contents that change the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis are the first application in the evolutionary synthesis of the first process, and the first applications in the application of the evolutionary synthesis of the second process The second application differs from the first embodiment in the second embodiment. Therefore, the process of the evolutionary synthesis will be described in detail below. The same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the card combination combination storage unit 23 (only the field for setting the game card after the evolution of the game card A). As shown in FIG. 11, in the game card 233a after evolution, two settings, the first setting 2331 and the second setting 2332, can be set, and the character of the game card A is a game card AA in the first setting 2331. In the second setting 2332, the character is evolved into a character associated with a game card AB different from the game card AA. Here, for example, the characters of the game card AA are set to be more useful (for example, stronger characters) to the player than the characters of the game card AB.

  FIG. 12 is a view showing an example (only game card A) 25 a of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25. As shown in FIG. 12, for the game card A, before expiration of the expiration date 254 is evolved and synthesized to the character of the game card of the first setting 2331 with 100% card combination success probability (first process) and after expiration date 255 Is set to be evolutionarily synthesized to the character of the game card of the second setting 2332 (second process). In the second embodiment, although the evolutionary synthesis success probability of the first setting is 100%, the evolutionary synthesis success probability can be arbitrarily changed.

  FIG. 13 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing the combining process of the web server device 10 configured as described above. As shown in FIG. 13, similarly to steps S201 and S202 in FIG. 10, when the web server device 10 acquires the expiration date of the evolution game card (ST301), whether or not the expiration date of the evolution game card has passed. It is determined (ST 302). If the web server device 10 determines that the expiration date has not passed (ST 302: YES), the character of the game card of the first setting 2331 (that is, the character of the game card AA) is 100% with a card combining success probability. If it is determined that it is after the expiration date has passed (ST 302: NO), it is evolutionally synthesized to the character of the game card of the second setting 2332 (that is, the character of the game card AB). Next, the web server device 10 outputs the result of the evolutionary synthesis to the portable terminal device 30 (S305).

  The web server device 10 configured in this way has a use for evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date (mainly the first use where the success probability changes) and a use for evolutionary synthesis after the expiration date (first setting 2331) The character set evolves to a character of the second setting 2332 instead of the character of (1), that is, a second application of evolution to a different character. In addition, since the setting before the expiration date becomes more useful (stronger character) after the expiration date, it is possible to urge the player to perform evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date has passed. Therefore, it is possible to activate evolutionary synthesis.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment differs in the content of the synthesis processing of evolution synthesis (the content of the first processing and the content of the second processing) depending on the passage of time, more specifically, the first embodiment. The contents of the contents described in the second embodiment are different from the contents described in the second embodiment from the first embodiment described above. Therefore, the process of the evolutionary synthesis will be described in detail below. The same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 14 is a view showing an example of information stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 (only for the game card A) 24a. In the expiration date storage unit 24 a, a first expiration date 243 and a second expiration date 244 are set for each game card name 241. In the first expiration date 243 and the second expiration date 244, the expiration date start and the expiration date end are set, respectively. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, for the game card A, the first expiration date is from the start of the game until the first predetermined period has passed, and the second expiration date is from the second predetermined time after the first expiration date has passed. Until the third predetermined time has elapsed. FIG. 15 illustrates the period in an easily understandable manner, and can be divided into four periods T1 to T4 as illustrated.

  FIG. 16 is a view showing an example (only game card A) 25 b of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25. FIG. 17 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing the composition processing. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, for the game card A, if it is within the first expiration date (period T1) (ST 401: YES), the game combination success rate of the first setting 2331 is 100% with a card combining success probability. If the character is evolved and synthesized (ST 402) and the first expiration date has passed and before the second expiration date has not started (period T2) (ST 403: YES), the game combination of the first setting 2331 has a 5% card combination success probability. It is evolved and synthesized to the character of (ST 404). Furthermore, if the second validity period has not elapsed (period T3) (ST405: YES), it is evolutionarily synthesized with the character of the game card of the first setting 2331 with a card synthesis success probability 100% (ST406), and the second validity period has elapsed. If it is after (ST405: NO), it is set to be evolutionarily synthesized with the character of the game card of the second setting 2332 (ST407).

  The web server device 10 configured in this way causes the contents of the change of the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis to be different according to the passage of time. Specifically, according to the passage of time, the expiration date is increased from the first evolution and synthesis process (see: first embodiment) in which the success probability is significantly increased when the expiration date has passed before the expiration date. Transition to a second evolutionary synthesis process (see: second embodiment) in which the application of evolutionary synthesis before the lapse of time and the application of evolutionary synthesis after the expiration date are different. For this reason, it is possible to promote evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date within each period of the first expiration date 243 and the second expiration date 244. In addition, the first and second synthesis processes can be combined according to the passage of time, so that it is possible to activate evolutionary synthesis and further refine the taste of evolutionary synthesis.

Fourth Embodiment
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the first synthesis result by the evolutionary synthesis of the first process and the second synthesis result by the evolutionary synthesis of the second process are different from the first embodiment. It is different. Therefore, the process of the evolutionary synthesis will be described in detail below. The same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 18 is a view showing an example (only the game card A) 25 c of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25. As shown in FIG. 18, in the game card name 251, the contents of the evolution and synthesis processing before the expiration date 260 and after the expiration date 261 are set. For game card A, for example, before expiration date 260 is evolved to the character associated with the first setting game card (game card AC) (first process), and after expiration date 261 is the second setting It is set to evolve into a character associated with the game card (game card AD) of (1) (second process). Here, as the character associated with the game card AC, a character (for example, a stronger character) more useful to the player than the character associated with the game card AD is set.

  FIG. 19 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing the composition processing. As shown in FIG. 19, similarly to steps S201 and S202 of FIG. 10, when the web server device 10 acquires the expiration date of the evolution game card (ST501), whether or not the expiration date of the evolution game card has passed. It is determined (ST 502). If the web server device 10 determines that the expiration date has not passed (ST 502: YES), the web server device 10 is evolutionarily synthesized with the game card character of the first setting (that is, the character of the game card AC), and the expiration date is If it is determined that the time has passed (ST 502: NO), it is evolutionarily synthesized to the character of the game card of the second setting (that is, the game card AD). Next, the web server device 10 transmits the result of evolutionary synthesis to the mobile terminal device 30 (S505).

  The web server apparatus 10 configured in this way has the synthesis result of evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date (first synthesis result) and the synthesis effect of evolution synthesis after the expiration date (second synthesis result) Are different from each other, and the synthesis result before the expiration date is more useful to the player than the synthesis result after the expiration date, so it is possible to urge the player to perform evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date passes, Activation of evolutionary synthesis can be achieved.

  In the fourth embodiment, although the case where the characters are different between the first setting and the second setting has been described as the difference of the combining effect, the present invention is not limited to this setting. For example, although the characters of the first and second settings are the same, the setting of the design of the game card of the first setting may be excellent, and the design of the game card of the second setting may be simplified.

Fifth Embodiment
The fifth embodiment will now be described. The fifth embodiment differs from the first to fourth embodiments in the method of acquiring the expiration date. Therefore, the process of acquiring the expiration date will be described in detail below. The same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a priority value setting unit 60 that shows settings of characters or items and priority values. As shown in FIG. 20, in the priority value setting unit 60, the category 61 is associated with the priority value 62, the rare character is “5”, the rare item is “4”, the main character is “3”, and the sub The priority value is set such that the character is “2” and the item is “1”. The priority value set in this manner is stored in the game card storage unit 22 for each game card by adding a field of the priority value. Further, for the game card to which the item is associated, the expiration date is set in the expiration date storage unit 24 for each item, as in the game card to which the character is associated.

  FIG. 21 is an example of a flowchart showing processing in which the web server device 10 acquires an expiration date. The web server device 10 acquires an expiration date set for one game card from game cards used for evolutionary synthesis in accordance with a preset rule. Specific acquisition processing of the expiration date will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the web server device 10 receives a request including information indicating an input of the evolution synthesis button 52, the evolution game card (first game card), and a game card to be combined and / or The priority value of the game card of the item (second game card), that is, all the game cards related to evolutionary synthesis is acquired (ST601). Here, although the priority values of all game cards related to evolutionary composition are obtained, the priority values set for the items may be removed and only the expiration date set for the character may be used. In this case, it is sufficient to obtain only the priority value set for the character using the setting of the attribute 223 in the information (see FIG. 3) stored in the game card storage unit 22.

  Next, the web server device 10 selects the highest priority value from all the priority values (ST 602), and acquires from the game card storage unit 22 the expiration date set for the game card in which the selected priority value is set. To do (ST603). The subsequent processes are the same as the processes after step S202 in FIG.

  In the web server device 10 configured in this way, the expiration date set for the evolution game card is usually selected, but a game card having a high priority value such as a rare character or a rare item is used in combination of evolution synthesis. When it is included, the expiration date set for the rare character or the rare item is acquired. For this reason, it is possible to have variations on the expiration date for differentiating the contents of the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis.

  Further, since the information display unit 57 displays the expiration date associated with the evolution game card, the contents of the evolution composition process, etc., information is selected when the expiration date is selected from game cards other than the evolution game card. The display content etc. of the display unit 57 may differ from the actual processing content etc. Therefore, when a game card other than the evolution game card is selected, the web server device 10 may once transmit to the player a response for confirming the expiration date and the contents of the evolution composition process. This makes it possible to prevent evolutionary synthesis from being performed under unexpected conditions for the player.

  In the first to fifth embodiments described above, the card synthesis of the present invention is described in the case of evolutionary synthesis, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can apply. In addition, the condition regarding the card combination for transitioning the processing content of the card combination from the first processing to the second processing has been described in the case where the expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 has passed. However, it is not limited to this condition.

  Further, as the setting after the expiration date of the card composition processing content storage unit 25, for example, the intimacy is the highest among other players constituting the team 30a (for example, the time during which the game play together is the longest, or It is also possible to set that a game card whose expiration date has passed is presented to the player, for example, the value of the parameter being closest. By setting in this manner, it is possible to present a game card which is not used until the expiration date has passed, in other words, a game card unnecessary for the player, to another player with high intimacy. Therefore, a player who is given a game card can expand the possibility of card composition by using the game card, and can lead to further activation of card composition.

  Furthermore, in the first to fifth embodiments, the setting of the expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 is applied to any mobile terminal device 30 (player) in a similar manner. However, for example, the mobile terminal device 30 may be changed. In this case, the web server device 10 stores the expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 based on the player information (play time of the match game, the level of the character to be evolved, etc.) stored in the player information storage unit 42. And adding or decreasing a fixed period, or multiplying the expiration date by a fixed percentage. As described above, by making it possible to change the expiration date according to the player, it becomes possible to set an expiration date suitable for the player who plays the competitive game.
