The battle has begun. More than 3,875 Ivy League players are two weeks into an online fight to control the virtual Northeast (see map at left). They’re playing GoCrossCampus, similar to the board game Risk, started in 2007 by friends from Yale and Columbia.

Cornell (represented by the red territories) is currently in sixth place, with commander Joey Zwicker ’10 leading the Big Red troops. They’re holding areas in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Princeton is in the lead, controlling swaths of Long Island, Pennsylvania, and, of course, New Jersey.

Last fall, Cornell came in second while Princeton celebrated victory. A New York Times slide show reveals how the game unfolded.
