noun

1. a game similar to catching where a specified 'infected' player chases the other players around with the goal of touching any part of their body with their hand, while the other players attempt to run away and avoid being touched. However, unlike catching (where the role of 'catcher' is transferred away to the caught player), when a player is touched by an 'infected' player, they are both then 'infected' for the rest of the round, and as such must both chase down the 'uninfected' players. Hence, the number of 'infected' players always increases as the game progresses. The game usually continues until every player has been infected, or a certain time limit has been reached.
