Cards Against Humanity is known for its tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, and the game showed its sarcastic side once again with the release of a parody "For Her" version, which is exactly the same as the original version, save for the fact that the box is pink and the game costs $5 more.

"We decided that hey, it's 2017, it's time for women to have a spot at the table, and nevertheless, she persisted," Cards Against Humanity community director Jenn Bane said in a press release. "That's why we made Cards Against Humanity: For Her. It's trendy, stylish, and easy to understand. And it's pink. Women love the color pink."

Intended as a joke, the game is available for $30, along with two expansion packs: the Weed Pack and the Period Pack.

In case you don't get the message, the company is taking aim at the "pink tax," in which products marketed towards women cost more despite being the exact same product as their male counterparts.

The company shared on Twitter that proceeds from the parody edition will be donated to Emily's List, a group that helps pro-choice Democratic women get elected to office, although Bane told Business Insider that she doesn't exactly expect the pink-packaged game to sell.

"Women don't fall for gimmicks, especially not gimmicks as stupid as this one," she said.
