One critter, one number, one keeper

A critter comes with its number and the day it was made. Nobody can make a second one, and the whole club can see whose shelf it sits on.

How keeping works

From the pond to your shelf Four steps, and the first takes less than a minute.

1

Join the drop

Leave a name and an email. No wallet is needed to start.

2

Draw a critter

You get the next one out of the pond. Which one is a surprise.

3

Put it on a shelf

Your shelf is a page of its own, with every critter you keep.

4

Swap when you like

Offer it to another keeper. A swap is done when both say yes.

What do I own when I keep one?

The numbered critter and its place on your shelf. The picture may be used by anybody; the number is yours alone.

Do I need a wallet?

Not to start. You can connect one later and move your critters into it.

Can I choose which one I get?

No. A draw is a surprise. Swapping is how you get the one you wanted.

What happens after ten thousand?

The pond is closed for good. Only swaps go on.

Keeper's guide

Drawing, keeping and swapping, in plain words.

Join drop 7

How keeping works

A critter is a numbered clay figure. Whoever keeps it is written next to its number, for everybody to read.

When you draw one, the record says so under a reference such as POND-6641. From then on only you can offer it for a swap.

Swapping

An offer names the critter you give and the one you want, or a price. The other keeper says yes or lets it lapse after a week.

Before you offer

  • Check how many of its colour exist.
  • Look at the lowest swap of its drop.
  • Remember that a done swap cannot be undone.

Leaving the club

Your critters stay yours. See what each drop is worth today or draw your first one.
