Please verify topo. I can't find the English sense of "a game" on Google or Google books. It does seem to be short for "topographical" though. Siuenti (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the definition "A topographic map.". DCDuring TALK 20:10, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have found the game Topo, apparently invented by mathematical author Theoni Pappas, no article on WP, but the search engine there finds three references to him.
I placed one use from Usenet (via Google Groups). I have found a use by Pappas in The Joy of Mathematics. DCDuring TALK 20:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is a product called Topo! which makes Topo quite hard to find with simple search strategies. DCDuring TALK 20:36, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Other than the ones in the entry, I found these two: [1], [2]. All of them, except Pappas’ book, are mentions. — Ungoliant (falai) 20:15, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
