Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A game system includes multiple game machines which implement a game by alternating turns. Each game machine implements the game on its turn, and transmits game progress information to the other game machines. The game is implemented in accordance with the transmitted game progress information. A host game machine of the game machines transmits turn determination information to the other game machines, and receives turn completion information from each of the other game machines. When the turn confirmation information is not returned from one of the other game machines, the host game machine recognizes that communication has been cut off. When the communication has been cut off, the host game machine functions as a substitute for the cut off game machine.
First claim
