Virtual territory-conquering game draws UNC students
GoCrossCampus, a company based out of New Haven, Conn., is bringing a virtual game of territory domination — similar to the board game Risk — to UNC.
The game has proven successful among Ivy League universities and has expanded to more than 100 schools.
Online recruitment opened for students of ACC schools on Monday. Students at conference schools now are able to join at GoCrossCampus.com and assemble teams.
Four Yale University undergraduate students and a Columbia University undergraduate student made the game in September 2007.
Students play for their respective schools and compete to control maps of real college campuses in their regions, which have been divided into smaller territories.
