Can we please get an offical statement on Online play?

Is there going to be any? Local only? I think this game would be pretty amazing if it offered online play.

If the game required the players to have the base set, they could join anyone who had the expansions, but they wouldn't be able to host those games. Much like only one person needing to own the physical game for others to play.

I love this game, but I hate that I can only play with my friends when they are in town. And thats only once a year.

Local only. At least at the beginning.

Even when (if) they do add Online play it will almost certainly be real time online play only. Unless they completely change the rules on how players help each other on checks, asynchronous play is not really an option.
