How +6 add, x2 mult, and scaling (+2/blind = ~+48 by ante 9) compare as the run progresses.

Relic ordering demo

Meld order matters too (v0.1): melds score in board order — left→right, top→bottom — and you can drag a meld's ⠿ plate (or a tile up/down) to change that order in-game. Retrigger relics read the flattened tile sequence: Chain Reaction retriggers every 3rd tile across the whole turn, Double Tap the first tile of each meld. Within a Set, tiles can also be drag-reordered sideways; Runs keep number order (a wild's position defines its identity).

Melder relics by mult type

Relic	Type	Effect	Late-game
Relic	+add	+6 Mult always	Weak ante 7+
Greedy / color	+add	+5 Mult per color tile	Decent if many
Fibonacci	+add	+12 per fib tile	Good w/ retrigger
Swashbuckler	+add	+4 per other relic	Scales w/ relics
Hoarder (new)	+add	+3 Chips per hand tile	Chip scaling
Wallflower (new)	+add	+5 Mult per unscored color	Held-in-hand

Jolly / Crazy	xmult	x1.5 if set/run scored	Always strong
Half Relic	xmult	x2 if all groups = 3	Huge if built
Dualist	xmult	x3 if set + run	Best common xM
Debt Relic	xmult	x4 (lose $2/blind)	Build-defining
Sacrifice	xmult	x5 (lose 1 play)	Build-defining
Baron (held)	xmult	x2 per 13 in hand	Exponential
Snake Eyes (new)	xmult	x1.5 per 1 in hand	Exponential
Patience (new)	xmult	x1.5 if 8+ in hand	Held-in-hand
Ancient Rune	xmult	x4 always	Top tier
Cavendish	xmult	x3 always (tiny break %)	Build-defining
Glass Cannon	xmult	x3 (25% break chance)	High risk
Longhaul	xmult	x5 if run of 6+	Conditional king

Consortium	scale	+2 Mult per set scored ever	Monster ante 6+
Hologram	scale	+0.5 per tile drawn	Slow, unlimited
Whetstone	scale	+2 per blind beaten	+48 by ante 9
Obelisk	scale	+0.3x per consec type	Scaling xMult!
Supernova	scale	+1 per group (cap 50)	Capped reliable

Theoretical max base chips breakdown

Base chips = everything that feeds into the Chips side of the Chips x Mult formula, before relics fire.

Source	Calculation	Chips
Tile face values	5 groups, ~20 tiles, avg 8.5 face value	170
Stone enhancement	+50 per stone tile x 10 stone tiles	500
Bonus enhancement	+30 per bonus tile x 5 bonus tiles	150
Foil enhancement	+20 per foil tile x 5 foil tiles	100
Hiker (permanent)	+5/tile/score, ~30 scores x 20 tiles	150
Retriggers (2x all tiles)	Seltzer+Dusk+Red sigils double above	+1,070
Cuts (stacked)	5x Brilliant (+100), 5x Step (+125), 3x Cushion (+30), 3x Rose (+120)	375
Wild tile bonus	+30 per wild tile x 2 wilds	60
Theoretical max base chips		~2,575

Then chip-adding relics stack on top (but these use relic slots!):

Relic	Best case	Chips
Stuntman	+250 flat	250
Scary Face	+30 per 10+ tile, ~8 tiles	240
Ice Cream	+200 (first play of blind)	200
Bull	+3 per $1, at $80 gold	240
Collector	+30 per group x 5	150
Grand total chips (base + 5 chip relics)		~3,500

Using relic slots for chips means fewer slots for xMult. The God builds below use 0 chip relics, relying on base chips + enhancements only.

Theoretical max mult breakdown

The mult side has layers that multiply together. Relic slots are the binding constraint.

LAYER 1: Additive mult (base + gems, no relic slots used)
Base mult (5 groups)	2 sets (+2 ea) + 3 runs (+1.5 ea)	+9.5
Cut mult bonuses	Stacked Pavilion/Step/Trillion	+20
Enhancement +4 mult tiles	~3 mult tiles scored	+12
Subtotal (no slots)		~41.5

LAYER 2: Relic xMult — all 7 slots on xMult (Crystal deck + 2 vouchers)
Baron	x2 per 13 in hand, 3 thirteens	x8
Sacrifice	x5 (lose 1 play)	x5
Debt Relic	x4 (lose $2/blind)	x4
Ancient Rune	x4 always	x4
Cavendish	x3 always	x3
Longhaul	x5 if run of 6+	x5
Glass Cannon	x3 (25% break)	x3
Product of 7 relic xMult		x28,800

LAYER 3: Enhancement xMult (per-tile, no slots)
Glass tiles (x2 each)	4 glass tiles scored	x16
Prismatic tiles (x1.5 each)	3 prismatic tiles scored	x3.4
Steel tiles (x1.5 each held)	3 steel tiles in hand	x3.4
Subtotal enhancement xMult		~x183

BONUS MULTIPLIERS
Chromatic editions	x1.5 per chromatic relic, ~3 of 7 relics	x3.4
Rune cards	The Sun (x2) + Rune of Power (x3)	x6
Rune chips	The Star (x2 chips)	x2 on chips

God build (7 xMult relics, no Echo)		41.5 x 28,800 x 183
= Total mult		~218.8M
2,575 chips x 218.8M mult		~563B

With Echo Chamber (takes 1 of 7 slots, 6 xMult relics fire twice):
6 relics = Baron(x8) x Sacrifice(x5) x Debt(x4) x Ancient(x4) x Cavendish(x3) x Longhaul(x5) = x9,600
Echo squares it: x9,600 x x9,600 = x92,160,000 — but +add relics and chromatic also fire twice.
The full Echo formula from the game code: ((B+A)*R*C + A) * R * C, not simply (B+A)*R².
The second pass adds the additive bonus again on top of the already-multiplied base, giving a small extra boost.

Max relic slots: base 3 + Crystal deck (+2) + Paint Brush (+1, cap 6) + Antimatter (+1, cap 7) = 7. Negative edition relics add +1 slot each beyond the cap.
