"I'm sorry," the FLGS owner replies, shaking his head, sadly, "but I can't actually sell you this. I can sell you the normal Descent game, but it doesn't play anything like the game you just enjoyed so much."
Frustrated and disheartened, the customer leaves the FLGS, promising never to return since it is clear that a business who won't actually sell their product doesn't deserve his patronage.
Alternatively, the FLGS owner politely explains that the co-op expansion will be on sale later this year, and that the customer can buy the core box now if he likes, as it will be required to play with the co-op expansion later anyway.
Has FFG confirmed that the solo version will be available for purchase later this year? I have asked my FLGS to order in at least one set for the organized play, but I haven't heard a response from them. I love Descent and would really like the oportunity to try this coop version!
