Mermaid Rain
Over five rounds, players move mermaids through the sea to collect five types of goods. Each round begins with a card-selection phase in which players form poker-style combinations to determine turn order, gain bonuses, and select wave tiles. Players then place their wave tiles on the board and use cards to move across matching spaces, discovering and collecting face-down goods tokens from islands. Some wave tiles are removed at the end of each round, displacing any mermaids on them. Players score for completing a collection with one of each type, then earn additional points for sets, with rarer goods and larger sets scoring more.

Mitchell C4.6 relatively quick little abstract game. Not a lot of player interaction, but the set collection mechanic means you're constantly looking at what other players are doing.
