1. A terminal device comprising:
a storage unit configured to store, as part of information related to a game, (i) information on plural kinds of character cards in which a point for selecting a character and plural parameters are predetermined, (ii) for each character card in the plural kinds of character cards, information on a character in association with the character card, and (iii) information on a point amount for selecting a character;
a display processing unit configured to display the plural kinds of character cards in a first field in a state of being arranged adjacent to one another and in a manner such that a character card with the point equal to or less than the point amount is selectable by a player of the game; and
a control unit configured to send an instruction to remove a selected character card from the first field, to arrange a character corresponding to the selected character card in a second field different from the first field, and to display a new character card in the first field as substitute of the removed character card, wherein the control unit is configured to choose the new character card to provide to the player based on one of the plural parameters,
wherein the control unit is further configured to, when the player selects the selected character card, subtract the point amount by the point of the selected character card, and enable a character card with the point equal to or less than the renewed point amount as selectable by the player, and
wherein the character corresponding to the selected character card is configured to attack an enemy character in the second field based on the plural parameters associated with the selected character card.
