Abstract: A card game system in which a game progresses based on game information recorded in a card in each of a plurality of game apparatuses. The game apparatus set as a master apparatus includes a master reception device that receives the game information transmitted from each of the game apparatuses, a permission device that rejects the reception of game information until a start determination device determines to start a specific time and that permits the reception of game information when the start determination device determines to start the specific time, and a rejection device that rejects the reception when an elapse time determination device determines that the set time as the specific time in advance elapses after permitting the reception. Each game apparatus includes a terminal transmission device that transmits the game information to the master reception device.

Abstract: An information input and output device for communicating information with an information recording unit of a card, includes a card support unit that includes a card support surface for sliding the card while supporting the card from one surface side, a card end unit that includes a card end surface provided to protrude from the card support surface, and an input and output executing unit that is positioned to face the information recording unit of the card when the card is slid on the card support surface while abutting the card against the card end surface, and that executes at least one of reading of the information from the information recording unit and writing of the information to the information recording unit.

Abstract: To provide a game system which improves a sense of being a member when a plurality of game machines are grouped. In a game system, in which each of a plurality of game machines G is sorted to any one group TTT and a game using a game element R is played among a plurality of game machines G, the game machine G obtains the evaluation to the content of the play of the game and a server CS updates registered group information 41 representing a group TTT holding the game element R into a group of the game machine G that obtained the evaluation when the evaluation and registered evaluation 43 stored related to the game element R meet a predetermined condition.

Abstract: A game system reflects a plurality of subjective elements about players to a game. In the game system, evaluations to a player acquired by game apparatuses of other players relative to a plurality of evaluation items are acquired as the evaluation to the player, and each evaluation history of the player is updated depending on the acquired evaluation dedicated to the player. Further, a value corresponding to each evaluation history is set as a coordinate value in a coordinate space defined by coordinate axes of a plurality of evaluation items, thereby an evaluation position of the player in the coordinate space is specified. Then, a processing about the game is performed based on the specified evaluation position.
