Grow Jogos e Brinquedos
Grow is a Brazilian gaming and toy company, focused mostly on board games and puzzles.
It was founded in 1972, when it launched War, and it's broadly recognized as one of the most active main stream board game publishers in South America. It has a wide distribution network and its products are sold mostly in toy stores and big chains.
Its most famous title still is War, probably the most famous game in Brasil. This game is mostly a variant of Risk, developed in a time where the Brazilian game market didn´t care about copying other products.
Grow has launched some original games in its history, by Brazilian designers, such as Ludopédio (about soccer), Eleições (Elections) and Tango. In the 1980´s it licensed games from Avalon Hill and other board game companies, such as TSR´s Dungeons and Dragons, but no one is in catalog now.
Currently (2015), it seems it will focus its adult board games with established international successes, with a product line named "Modern Games". As in 2015, Grow has some titles as Catan, Carcassonne, Bang, and Puerto Rico.
