In case you didn't see this on BGG, my coworker randomly brought an unpunched but opened copy of Carcassonne 1st edition to work. It is in a PixelPark.co.nz branded box (printed, not stickers) with Rio Grande Games 1st English edition branding on the back. It includes an unpunched copy of The River, as well. The scoreboard has a grey track. Meeples are still in their bag, presumably never touched. The rules are presumably the Rio Grande 1st edition Farmer scoring (I can check) but the formatting is awful and perhaps redone by PixelPark for some reason (I can also check this).
My coworker donated the box to the library, but we already have a Big Box 6 that I donated in 2019, so we don't need another copy and this one clearly has some value since it was a very limited print run...the New Zealand board game market is not that large and printing branded copies of Carcassonne could not have been cheap. Since we have the game, my coworker (who just left for a new job today, sadly) gave us permission to sell or trade it for another game.
I think a sale is preferred so we can buy some smaller, 30-minute games that can be played during lunch times, but I'd be interested in a trade if one is appropriate. At this point, I don't know the value but if you feel like making an offer via PM, please feel free. Consider it a blind, non-binding auction at this point. I'll try to post some photos shortly and I'll try to be careful not to dislodge any tiles, although I can't guarantee they'll all stay in place during shipping. Shipping from New Zealand can be expensive, so keep that in mind if you make an offer.
