Richards of Troy, New York, for 25 or '10 cents silver (for) a cheaper set to learn the game.' CONTACK/TRI-OMINOES is simple and enjoyable to play, The Volume Sprayer game has pressed wood pieces and the original (Volume Sprayer) hexagonal tin-lined box.'Contack is a scientific game of skill and promotes alertness, concentration, accurate planning and rapid calculating. It should always be played with earnest to win.' (That from the first couple of lines of the rule book.). This game is actually the precursor of Tri-onimos. - BoardGameGeek
