Could this be an April Fools' joke?

What a nice date to release something like that...

Did they mention that players wearing pink get bonus points?
And the starting player is the one with pink eyes

Haven't read the rules yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if that would be part of it.

Just got my review copy in, will be playing it and writing a review soon!

So cool!

How is it in real life compared to the flashy-colored pictures?

Hi, matteo.kindt and welcome to the forum! It's funny you mentioned this today. I too was interested in this special edition so ended up making my own. https://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=6338.msg91275#msg91275
I just finished printing and gave it the first playtest last night. It was a lot of fun (even though I lost), and I thought it looked great on the table. I took pictures, but the lighting didn't do it justice. If you or anyone else are interested in this I can add it to the downloads. Cheers!

Oh I thought the joke was only for the pink edition but they were still actually making a special edition.
So does that mean I am wrong and the joke is for the whole thing? In other words, is there not actually coming out a special 40th anniversary edition?

Correct. The joke is the whole thing. It was referred to in the message from HiG on 01/04 that there had been a vote, which Pretty in Pink had won. The intention was that the joke would seem more realistic if there had actually been a vote, which is what this was. Pretty in Pink was never going to actually win it, but the results were hidden until mid-day on 01/04 so it was still vaguely plausible.

Sorry for any confusion. It was a bit involved.

EDIT: probably worth pointing out that the Pretty in Pink version did actually capture the imaginations of a few people who liked it enough that they were prepared to fan-make it!

And they made it, didn't they?
