We present a short review on poor groups of galaxies focusing on the evolution of compact groups and formation of fossil groups. Fossil groups are systems with one dominant luminous elliptical galaxy surrounded by faint companions, in an extended X-ray halo. We will briefly discuss the possibility of fossil groups being the end-products of the merging of compact groups.
