摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To play the network match of a trading card game with presence similar to an actual trading card game even when the opponent of the game is not present near a player. PSOLUTION: A trading card 1 is used, which includes a non-contact IC tag 2 and a transmitter antenna 3 of which an antenna area is one quarter of card area or less and which is eccentrically disposed at a corner of the card. Furthermore, a plurality of reading antennas 11a, 11b, 11c are disposed inside a card reading sheet 10, so that only one reading antenna is capable of reading information on the trading card 1 with regard to disposing directions of the trading card 1. Radio waves are then sequentially radiated from the reading antennas 11a, 11b, 11c and a reading antenna that receives a response from the trading card, is identified, thereby deciding the disposing direction of the trading card.
