CU's club is once again launching a campus-wide game that features "human" players avoiding being tagged, or "zombified," by zombie players, both of which will be marked by bandanas.
Human players deal with zombie players by stunning them and running from them. In accordance with CU's policies regarding replica weapons, players will be able to use socks, marshmallow shooters and blowguns on campus, but several off-campus missions during the week will allow players to use Nerf gear.
