topo

[Mike Lawler]

I'm looking for information on a math game
I played in high school called "topo."

My memory of the game is a little vague, but I
can give a brief description of the game.
Two plaers take turns drawing shapes on a
piece of paper. They then assign numbers
to these regions (I can't remember how) and
then regions somehow capture each other (again,
I can't remember exactly how this happens).

Any help would be greatly appreciated as
neither my high school classmates nor my
high school math teacher can recall the
rules!

Thanks
