Game control method, game control device, and recording medium
Provided is a game control method carried out by a game control device connected to communication terminals used by users who play a game. The device has a storage unit for storing group information indicative of a group consisting of users and game piece information indicative of game pieces constituting one item. The method includes giving a game piece to each user in accordance with a user operation to his/her communication terminal; storing obtained game piece information indicative of the game piece given to each user in the storage unit; determining whether all of the game pieces necessary to constitute the one item indicated by the game piece information are given to users constituting a group indicated by the group information based on the obtained game piece information; and giving a reward to users constituting the group if it is determined that all of the game pieces are given.

conducting a card battle based on the plurality of parameters set on each of the plurality of card characters included in the deck; and
increasing, by elevating a first card character among the plurality of card characters by consuming at least one card character identical to the first card character, at least one of the plurality of parameters set on the first card character; and
the sub cycle comprises:
making an event to occur;
providing at least two component items;
providing, when users belonging to the group have all the component items necessary to obtain a benefit, the benefit to the users belonging to the group; and
finalizing the event after a first term lapses from an occurrence of the event.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the benefit is a card character available in the main cycle.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising invalidating the component items in response to a finish of the event.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event is an event where users belonging to the group cooperate.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein making the second user to belong to the group comprises receiving approval from the first user after receiving the second instruction, and after which, making the second user to belong to the group.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the card battle is a battle against a non-player character.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the card battle is a battle where a plurality of users cooperate.
9. A server comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
provide a game, in which two or more users composing a group cooperate, implemented by a native application installed into a communication terminal,
in the game, the processor is further configured to:
receive, from a first user, a first instruction to create a group;
create the group in response to the first instruction;
receive, from a second user, a second instruction for the second user to join to the group;
make, in response to the second instructions, the second user to belong to the group;
conduct a main cycle; and
conduct a sub cycle; wherein
in the main cycle, the processor is configured to:
display a deck creation screen;
create, in response to a user operation to the deck creation screen, a deck including a plurality of card characters, wherein a plurality of parameters are set on each of the card characters, the plurality of parameters including a first parameter indicative of a hit point, a second parameter indicative of an attack power, and a third parameter indicative of speed;
conduct a card battle based on the plurality of parameters set on each of the plurality of card characters included in the deck; and
increase, by elevating a first card character among the plurality of card characters by consuming at least one card character identical to the first card character, at least one of the plurality of parameters set on the first card character; and
in the sub cycle, the processor is configured to:
make an event to occur;
provide at least two component items;
provide, when users belonging to the group have all the component items necessary to obtain a benefit, the benefit to the users belonging to the group; and
finalize the event after a first term lapses from an occurrence of the event.
10. The server of claim 9 , the processor further configured to determine a first time at which the event occurs, wherein making the event to occur comprises making the event to occur at the first time.
11. The server of claim 9 , wherein the benefit is a card character available in the main cycle.
12. The server of claim 9 , the processor further configured to invalidate the component items in response to a finish of the event.
13. The server of claim 9 , wherein the event is an event where users belonging to the group cooperate.
14. The server of claim 9 , wherein making the second user to belong to the group comprises receiving approval from the first user after receiving the second instruction, and after which, making the second user to belong to the group.
15. The server of claim 9 , wherein the card battle is a battle against a non-player character.
16. The server of claim 9 , wherein the card battle is a battle where a plurality of users cooperates.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor of a server, cause the processor to provide a game, in which two or more users composing a group cooperate, implemented by a native application installed into a communication terminal,
in the game, the processor is further configured to:
receive, from a first user, a first instruction to create a group;
create the group in response to the first instruction;
receive, from a second user, a second instruction for the second user to join to the group;
make, in response to the second instructions, the second user to belong to the group;
conduct a main cycle; and
conduct a sub cycle; wherein
in the main cycle, the processor is configured to:
display a deck creation screen;
create, in response to a user operation to the deck creation screen, a deck including a plurality of card characters, wherein a plurality of parameters are set on each of the card characters, the plurality of parameters including a first parameter indicative of a hit point, a second parameter indicative of an attack power, and a third parameter indicative of speed;
conduct a card battle based on the plurality of parameters set on each of the plurality of card characters included in the deck; and
