Bloom Kingdom — a quick card game where a jester can steal your king's points (SPIEL Essen 2026)

About Bloom Kingdom, from BoardGameGeek:

Flourishing times in the kingdom! With every card played, the kingdom's display grows in power – but only your last two cards in hand will score at the end of the round. Will you build up a character's strength, or go for their victory points? And are the conditions met for a particularly lucrative scoring? Bloom Kingdom is a clever card game with stunning artwork. On each turn, players simultaneously choose character cards from their hands and play them into a common display. Your goal is to manipulate the display in your favor and make certain character types more valuable than others. However, to make a character type more valuable, this usually means you have to add cards of that type to the display. But you also want to keep such cards as your final two in your hand, in order to score them at the end of the round. This way, the display and the scoring potential grows over 3 rounds and whoever has the most points at the end of the third round wins. -description from the publisher
