'''Teeko''' is an [[abstract strategy game]] invented by [[John Scarne]] in 1937 and rereleased in refined form in 1952 and again in the 1960s. Teeko was marketed by Scarne's company, [[John Scarne Games Inc.]]; its quirky name, he said, borrowed letters from the games [[Tic-tac-toe]], [[Chess]], [[Checkers]], and [[Bingo (American version)|Bingo]].<ref name="Eskin">{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/magazine/2001/07/15/a-world-of-games/2c7b88ce-2f2c-4253-b347-4154d274bb03/ |url-status=dead |last=Eskin |first=Blake |title=A world of games: Cards and gambling authority John Scarne claimed to have invented one of the greatest board games of all time.
