Let's take a gander at 2026's Kinderspiel des Jahres, Mooki Island

About Mooki Island, from BoardGameGeek:

Set off on an adventure to meet the most adorable creatures: Mookies! Mooki Island is a quick, engaging game in which you'll collect as many Mookies from each family as possible to win Trophies! Can you get the shiny Legendary Mookie cards? And above all: Watch out for that strange-looking Spider who's just waiting to play a trick on you! The game's simple rules (each player takes a card and places it in front of themselves) helps younger players discover how a majority collection game works. As they play and play again, they'll gradually become shrewd little strategists, ready to surprise their parents! But that's not all! After every game, go explore the island together with your poster, and name the Mookies you befriended. Lumilion, Dracoleaf, all names are good!
