Yes Hello everyone

Today is the first thing I would like to do from a very big number story

80 rows of 0 on the screen are lined up now

This is a very large figure of 10 to the 80th power

On earth what do you think this is all this?

Actually this is it

The universe that human beings are observing

The number of atoms constituting this

I calculated this by 10 to the 80th power

It is a very big number

Today far exceeds this cosmic figure

I would like to share with you a big story of scale

Today’s theme

It is a game

Everyone, if anything, a computer game –

I think that many people imagine such things

What kind of image do you have?

There was a teacher at the school just before

After all, when you play the game

I do not study or get pulled away from home

For example, a case of becoming violent, causing an accident –

There may also be people who have such negative images

On the other hand, this computer game is

Japan is also actively developing home game machines around the world

Many people started to enjoy it

In recent years due to the spread of smartphones

More and more people now enjoy playing games

Thanks to that, various problems are occurring

But the game I’m talking about today is not such a computer game

“Trading card game”

Have you heard of everyone?

It might be a word that I can not hear much

Trading card game is

Elements of a card game like playing cards

And collect some stamps or something like this

Trading card game is what multiplies these two factors

Because it is called “trading” exchange with people –

In order to exchange it you need value

Actually trading card game is valuable for one card each

For example, this card

This is a famous “Yu-Gi-Oh” card game

Popular cards will be traded at 120 million yen per sheet

It’s about ten thousand dollars

With just one sheet of paper in this way

It is a translation that costs this kind of value if it is of great value

Rule of Trading Card Game I will explain how it is like how it is played

Basically I will play against myself one on one

First, I will make my hand – samurai

About 40 to 60 pieces of this

This will choose your favorite card

By the way, trading card game is

There was a theme with various animation / manga motif as a motif

There were many kinds of cards in that theme

Choose your favorite card from among them

I also choose the other party

And from each other ‘s cards hand cards 5 cards

And from your hand

Calling monsters and casting magic

And fight against opponent

Finally if you strike the other party with Todome, you win

To this monster you call from your hand at this time

Very popular manga characters and various heroes

These things were motifs

Kill someone with your favorite favorite card of your choice

Elements that children are excited about

It is a card game that it is very included

Please look at this screen for a moment

The right side is something amazing picture dragon

The left side is a screw

Which do you think is strong?

The name on the right side is very long, too

There are also 7,500 numbers and so on

When thinking normally, the value on the right side is also higher and strong

Actually, however, if this condition changes

The left side is winning

It’s a bit difficult

This monster on the right

It is said to block attacks of opponents here

I had the special ability “blocker”

And it is a very strong card that I can attack

This left screw is

I had the ability to unconditionally destroy blockers

You can beat this right dragon in an instant

In this way trading card game is

Even though it seemingly high value seemingly seemingly strong

Depending on the combination you can beat the opponent

It’s a very strategic brain-like game

Actually the trading card game shown here now

This is a very popular card game for elementary school student “Duel Masters”

Actually there are 3,000 types of cards

You choose 40 of your favorite cards from that

How many are this combination?

Street number 10 on 10

That is, it is larger than the number of atoms in the whole universe

Can you imagine this, everyone?

By the way, this trading card game is actually

Born in the United States in 1993, “Magic: The Gathering”

Games are beginning

This Magic The Gathering

Choose 60 cards out of 10,000 cards

How many combinations are there?

10 to 158 street

I can not imagine it at all

From among so many combinations

Children choose the only one deck

How about that?

Do not you think it is a creative game with a very enormous scale?

In order to spread the wonder of this trading card game

Trading card game competition against children

I have been in private for over 10 years

Children like this as friends or senior students –

Children of different ages gather a lot and play card games

I was about less than elementary school student

I am doing a little child from 5 years old

It’s a game that is very difficult because it is very strategic and creative

I’m doing from 5 years old

I’m playing from 5 years old

It’s hard to think and think about things abstractly

Actually, the concept of an abstract thing is

About 9 to 10 years old

Fractions and sentences problems

It can be done from about the age to solve such problems

I mean I must go over that wall

I have the idea of ​​”9 year old wall”

Just because card games have to think about abstract things

Approximately the age of this card is generally set for the target age of the card game

However, at the convention of the trading card game I hold

A 5 year old child came and actually played

One problem here

“When handling the first five cards out of 40 decks

Find the probability that one card you want comes in hand. “

It is impossible for such elementary students to understand

I think that it is not understood even by an adult

Answer

It is 12.5%

Naturally, I do not know either.

This is the case when there is only one on the deck

For example, what happens if there are up to 4?

42.7%

It is probably about this probably because it is once in 2.34 times

Do you understand this from your head?

Actually, children playing trading card games

I know this feeling

You probably will come around this time?

You are almost ready to come to hand?

This is for example if you are talking about baseball

There were 30% batters and I tried strike twice

Then, “Maybe hit the next time?”

Somehow I understand

Actually, children like this feeling

It is a translation you had in your card game

Please look at this next

Extremely long script

It’s very difficult, is not it

Moreover, there are a lot of conditional branches in this

I am reading these texts from the age of 5

I understand from the age of 5 and play

If you can not understand why

I can not play it because I can not enjoy it

Sometimes it is wrong

in this case

Senior students who are participating together will tell you

With this kind of trading card game

To create abstract thinking

Know the probability by skin sensation

It is such a kind of game

Actually, not only that

We are producing various other wonderful things

At one time my father asked a child who came home from a card game contest sponsored by me

“Where have you been going today?”

“I went to the trading card game tournament”

That child is a very good child

“How was it?” “I lost”

“You will not lose, you are

Please let Dad do it for a moment

Actually it is a translation that father and that kid played against each other

Dad never won

After that I wonder what happened to that father

I started to play trading card games with my kids

Play weekly every week

Then I went to a card shop or tournament

Sometimes while taking a bath

“I wish I had fought on a similar basis, did not he?”

A lot of such conversations are born

We are also producing a lot of parent-child communication

In addition to that, at the time of the tournament

Basically this trading card game

Because it is based on communication

Playing while communicating with the opponent

After finishing, while verifying that “How was it?”

And while learning it

It is creating such kind of communication

Very wonderful trading card game

I have been doing this kind of effort for more than 10 years

What I would like to tell you today

This trading card game is called

From a larger scale than the universe

Pick one of Only One

And fun to play

Just not only to play, establish abstract thinking

Enrich your communication

I would like to tell a lot of people including these elements

For example, if your children are coming

There may be someone who can have children in the future

What I would like the children to say at such times

“Study” or “Go outside and play”

Not just

“Let’s play the game”

“Let’s play games together”

I would like to tell you like that

By doing a trading card game

I think that you can experience a creative idea full of thought

Thank you very much

(Moderator) Thank you very much
