Abstract
A first appearance region for a first group is set at or near a center of a game stage. A second and a third appearance region for a second and a third group are set closer to respective end portions of the game stage than the first appearance region is. A character is caused to perform an action more advantageously in a game when the character is in a region rendered in a color relating to the group to which the character belongs than when the character is not in the region. It is determined that the first group is a winner in a game when a first condition is satisfied based on actions performed by the characters, and that the second and third groups are a winner in the game when a second condition is satisfied based on actions performed by the characters.
