Duck Race - December 13

Pond War

Pond War is an engaging competition for Duck holders, where participants choose between the OG Ducks or Hell Ducks teams. The goal is to raise their team's floor price over the previous month's level. Duck holders had until 12 pm EST on 12/1/23 to pick a side for this round of the competition. All detailed rules and participation instructions are available in Discord, including information on how to join teams, purchase requirements, and the criteria for winning exciting prizes. Join the Pond War and help your team come out on top!

Plumaje Tasting

Last Thursday, December 14, the NoncoDucks team had the pleasure of tasting Plumaje, the premier Malbec wine of NoncoDucks. Vercho's big smile was a clear indicator of approval, reflecting the wine's exceptional quality. DuckMaster might have to wait for some time before he gets his first sip, but that didn’t stop him from hauling several bottles home.

This tasting session has heightened the pond’s anticipation for Plumaje's arrival in Florida. If the team's reactions are anything to go by, this Malbec is set to be a favorite among connoisseurs in the Sunshine State and eventually the globe!

2nd Gen Clones

2nd Gen Clones returned on Thursday, December 14 and they are amazing!

These baby ducks were made by using the Gold Potion on an OG or Hell Duck.
