	~~[http://en~~.~~studio~~.~~boardgamearena~~.~~com/#!projects Check the list of current projects]~~		Also, first thing to do when starting a project of that list is to request the game image files. Sometimes we already have them, sometimes we'll have to ask the publisher. Since it can be a while between the time the publisher grants the license and when a developer starts a project, this contact also allows to check that everything is still ok on the licensing side.

The original publisher is not always easy to find, because very often board games are translated and published in different countries by a local publisher.
