The present invention provides a card game toy characterized by comprising: an attack switching means for replacing an attacking side with a defending side when the survival determining means determines that a defending side card is alive; The company provides card game toys.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the main body of the card game toy of the present application. In the figure, 1 is a card, and the card 1 has necessary data such as attack power, defense power, and vitality displayed by a barcode 1a. In addition to the card to be played against (character card), this card contains weapon cards (can increase attack power), armor cards (can increase defense power), item cards (can increase vitality), etc. that supplement the abilities of the character card. Sometimes used together.

2 is the card game toy of the present invention, and on the upper edge (rear) side (the front side is also OK) of the card game toy 2, there is an infrared photo sensor that can read the barcode 1a simply by momentarily passing the card 1 in the direction of the arrow. A reading means 3 consisting of the following is provided. Further, a liquid crystal display (LCD) 4 serving as a win/loss display means is provided approximately in the center.

On the left side P1 of the display 4 are an attack key (battle key) 5a and a power up key 6a, and on the right side P2 are an attack key 5b and a power up key 6b.
are provided for each.

In addition, on the lower edge (front) side of the display 4, LED bulbs (LEDs) L ₁ to L ₅ are arranged to indicate whether the player is on the attacking side or the defensive side, as well as displaying an attack.Further below, there is a power switch. K ₁ , select key K ₂ , and select key K ₃ are arranged.

The display 4 is constructed as shown in the second figure.

[Battle], [▲▲▲], [MISS], [▲▲▲],
Among the characters and symbols of [Power], [Battle] and [Power] blink to instruct the attacker to select a key. If the pressed key is an attack key, [Battle] lights up and [Power] ] disappears. [MISS] indicates a card input error or a mistake in the hit judgment described later. The [▲▲▲] symbol indicates the strength of the attack or power-up.

The words "1880", "880", and "180" on the right side of the characters "P1 input" and on the left side of the characters "P2 input" are the vitality [HP] read from the barcode 1a of card 1. It shows attack power [ST] and defense power [DF]. In addition, [Damage] displays the damage value of the opponent side (defending side) in response to the attack, and [VS]
is a column that displays the number of opponents, such as 1-on-1 or 2-on-2.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the structure of the card game toy of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 7 denotes a microcomputer, and the computer 7 includes a storage means for reading and storing data on cards A and B to be played against each other using the barcode reading means 3, and a storage means for reading and storing data on cards A and B to be played against each other by the barcode reading means 3, and a first player for determining the first player of the opponent card according to the data. A determining means, a hit determining means for determining whether it is a hit or a miss when the attacking side presses the attack key 5a or 5b, a damage calculating means for calculating the damage to the defending card, and a means for calculating the vitality [HP] of the defending card. It is functionally equipped with a survival determination means that verifies whether or not it is zero to determine survival.

8 is a sound generating means for generating necessary sounds according to sound data stored in the computer 7 in advance; 9
is a flashing and lighting means for the miniature balls L ₁ to _{L 5} that indicate the attacking side or an attack.

Next, how to play the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

First, turn on the power switch _K1 (step
401), and an initial screen (step 402) appears on the display 4. Instructions for mode settings, such as the type of game and the number of players, appear on the screen. Based on this instruction, select key _K2 is pressed to set the mode (step 403). In this case, if the game mode can be left at its initial value, that is, if there is a card input described later, step 403 is omitted.

Next, the characters "P1 input" on the display 4 flash and the P1 side instructs card input in order. Following this instruction, the P1 side will hold the card A in hand.
(Step 404). In this case, if there is an input error, a mistake sound will sound and [MISS] will be displayed on the display 4.

If there is a valid input, the data on card A is stored in the computer (storage means) 7, and at the same time,
Display 4 displays, for example, vitality [HP] = 1880 attack power [ST] = 880 defense power [DF] = 180 (step 405).

Next, the screen changes and the characters "P2 input" flash. As a result, the P2 side inputs the card B in hand (step 406). The data on this card B is stored in the computer (storage means) 7 as described above.
and the data is displayed on the display 4 (step 407).

Note that when weapon cards, armor cards, etc. are used together, the process is performed following "Step 407", but is omitted here.

After that, turn on the set key K ₃ (step
408), the "P1, P2 input" on the display 4 disappears along with the set sound, the miniature bulbs _L1 and _L5 flash alternately, the game start melody is played, and the game starts (step 409).

Next, the process moves to FIG. When the game starts, the microcomputer (first player determining means) 7 is activated and determines which card to play first (step 501) according to the data of cards A and B. This determination is made, for example, by comparing comparative constants and deciding which one has the larger one to attack first, and the result is displayed by lighting up one of the blinking miniature balls _L1 and _L5 as described above.

If it is determined in the above judgment that "the P1 side attacks first", the person on the P1 side turns on the attack key 5a (step 502). As a result, the characters [Battle] appear on the display 4, and at the same time as the battle sound is played, an attack display (step 503) is performed in which the miniature balls L ₁ to _{L 5} flash in a flowing manner from the attacking side to the defending side. .

Further, by turning on the attack key 5a, the computer (hit determining means) 7 determines whether the attack is a "hit" or a "miss" (step 504). For this determination, the hit rate is input into the computer 7 in advance as data.

If the above judgment is "miss", a "miss display" of "0" is displayed in the "damage" column of the display 4 along with a miss sound (step 505). after that,
The right to attack shifts to the P2 side. That is, the lights of the miniature balls _L1 and _L5 are switched, resulting in an attack change (step 506).

On the other hand, if the judgment result of the computer (hit judgment means) 7 is "hit", a melody sound is played, and at the same time, the computer (damage calculation means) 7 calculates the damage to the defending side (P2 side) (step 507).
and displays the damage value in the [Damage] field (step 508).

Then, the computer (survival determining means) 7 subtracts the "damage value" from the "vitality value" of the defending side (P2 side), verifies that HP=0, and makes a survival determination (step 509). As a result, if HP=0, the game ends (step 510).
The game end sound is sounded and the winning/losing status is displayed by blinking the words ``P1 input'' (or ``P2 input'') on the winning side (step 511).

Conversely, if HP>0, the process returns to attack switching (step 506).

Next, since the P2 side will attack, the person on the P2 side can perform the above steps by pressing the attack key 6a.
Steps 502 to 511 are repeated.

Note that the above flowchart does not illustrate a game in which multiple cards are pitted against each other and the player fights the next enemy until his or her vitality reaches 0.
In this type of game, the game does not end when HP=0, but only the battle cards are exchanged.

Also, in the above flowchart, only the "attack" of the P1 side and the P2 side and the battle to reduce the vitality of the opponent side (defending side) to zero are shown, but instead of the "right to attack", the power up keys 6a and 6b are used. You may also enable the use of other weapon cards, armor cards, item cards, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention includes: a barcode reading means for a card displaying necessary data in a barcode; a storage means for storing match data read by the reading means; A first attack determining means in which one side is the attacking side and the other side is the defending side, an attack key pressed by the attacking side when the cards are pitted against each other according to the data, and damage to the defending side card calculated when the attacking key is pressed. A calculation means, a survival determination means for determining survival by calculating based on the damage calculated by the calculation means and the data of the defending card, and a win/loss display means for displaying the determination result by the survival determination means. Because it is a feature, the attack and defense judgments between cards are made at a good tempo, quickly, and accurately.
It has excellent effects, such as giving a sense of urgency to the battle, as well as providing tactical and fair judgment.

Furthermore, since the survival determining means is provided with an attack switching means for switching the attacking side and the defending side when the defending card is determined to be alive, the sense of urgency and fun of the previous battle can be continued. be.
