Tier Stats

Droplet
10 max · wt 1 · tile cap 1
Big
4 max · wt 3 · tile cap 2
Royal
1 King + 1 Queen · wt 5 · tile cap 3

Spring Yield

Base
1 per Slime (Droplet · Big · Royal)
+2
Big bonus (any type)
+1
matching Big (Pebble Spring: +2)
Droplets and Royals never match — they always yield exactly 1. Match bonus only stacks on Bigs. Overflow drops onto the tile as loose. Distribute among friendlies at the tile.

Royals

Both
Royal Decree
Mobile Well. Slimes on the Royal's tile complete matching Rites as if at a Well. Royals themselves cannot complete Rites.
King
Royal Tithe SETTLE
Consume 3 res of the King's own type → +2 ME. No other type qualifies.
Queen
Royal Brood SETTLE
Spawn 1 Droplet of the Queen's type on the Queen's tile. Capacity must allow.
Royals cannot: Draw · Combine · Split · Mutate · Bloom · Assimilate · Infuse · Rite · move in MUSH.

Scoring

+1
per Droplet on board (end of game)
+4
per Big on board
+10
per Royal on board
Full-set bonus: +2 for all 10 Droplets · +4 for all 4 Bigs · +6 for both Royals.
+3
Assimilate (dissolve Slime on Cavern)
+5
Infuse / Bloom
Game ends when Rite deck or Ripple Effect deck is depleted. Tiebreak: Colony Weight (Droplet 1 · Big 3 · Royal 5) → Total Resources → Shared Victory.
