Abstract:
An object is to provide a card game machine capable of enhancing gameplay. A card game machine has a game board including a plurality of reader/writers configured to communicate with a semiconductor device which is mounted on a card and capable of wireless communication, and a control device connected to the reader/writer and configured to determine the position or orientation of the card or whether the card is put face up or down based on a signal from the reader/writer. By arrangement of a plurality of reader/writers and RF chips in the game board, not only data of the card but also signal strength can be detected, and the detailed position of an RF chip of the card which is placed on the game board can be specified.

Claim (Index 2):
A card game machine comprising:\n a mat including a plurality of first RF chips and a plurality of reader/writers arranged in an (M, N) matrix including M rows and N columns; a control device; and a communication terminal configured to communicate with the control device via an antenna included in the control device, wherein the plurality of reader/writers are configured to be wirelessly connected to a second RF chip included in a first card and a third RF chip included in a second card, wherein the control device is configured to perform wireless communication with the second and third RF chips via any of the plurality of reader/writers, wherein one of the plurality of first RF chips is positioned at a center between one of the plurality of reader/writers at (p, q) (p is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M\u22121 and q is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N) and another one of the plurality of reader/writers at (p+1, q), wherein the plurality of first RF chips are configured to transmit and receive data by use of a wireless signal using the plurality of reader/writers from the second RF chip and the third RF chip and detect a signal strength of the wireless signal, wherein the control device is configured to determine a type, an orientation and a position of each of the first card and the second card from the detected signal strength at the same time, wherein the control device is connected to the plurality of reader/writers, wherein the communication terminal is connected to an external network, and wherein the first card and the second card are used for a card game of the card game machine.
