Miro is a game manufacturer in France. Its most notable publication is "La Conquete du Monde," the first version of Risk ever produced.[1]

History

Miro was founded in Paris in 1936 by Fred Mirowitch and Leo J. Frankenthal. The company changed hands in 1950, after which it became the producer of French-language versions of Waddington Ltd. and Parker Brothers games. In 1980, Miro Company merged with Parker Brothers France and Meccano France under the name Miro-Meccano. In 1986, the company was acquired by Hasbro.
