[Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, embodiments are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Furthermore, the following embodiments do not limit the invention with respect to the patent claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more of the multiple features described in the embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. Also, identical or similar components are assigned the same reference number, and redundant descriptions are omitted. The embodiment described below describes an example in which the present invention is applied to a game system, which is an example of a game system, wherein a server communicating with a player terminal (communication terminal or game device) used by each player matches two players connected at the same time and provides a service (battle service) that realizes a battle game in which both players participate. However, the present invention is applicable to a system realized with any device configuration capable of conducting an electronic game in which multiple players participate. Furthermore, in this specification, "player" is described as referring to a user who logs in to the service and uses the battle service provided by the server (200) in the game system. Composition of the Game System FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a game system according to the present embodiment. As illustrated, the game system is configured so that a server (200) and a plurality of player terminals (100) can communicate with each other through a network (300). In addition, in the present embodiment, the server (200) matches two players from connected player terminals (100) as players for a battle game, provides a communication session for transmitting and receiving various information regarding the battle game, and provides a battle service that realizes a battle game in which the two players participate. Each player can log in to the battle service by launching a predetermined client application on the player terminal (100) used by the player. In the client application, the player can perform various settings or preliminary preparations regarding the battle game to be executed, set up a player profile, and play the battle game (battle, play). Although details will be described later, the battle game (electronic game) that can be played in the battle service of this embodiment is a trading card game (TCG) that proceeds by placing game elements such as cards on a predetermined game field. Additionally, the player terminal (100) can be any communication terminal equipped with communication functions, such as a PC or a smartphone. <Player Terminal Hardware Configuration> Next, the hardware configuration of the player terminal (100) is described using FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the hardware configuration of the player terminal (100). The control unit (101) is a processor such as a CPU and performs various controls, incl
