Boggalatro
Pitch
There's a game called Balatro that's become super popular over the past year. The core system is basically just playing poker hands, but the game has a ton of depth because it layers a bunch of modifiers to the game that synergize with each other in fun ways.
My pitch is to basically do the same thing, but with the game Boggle at its core instead of Poker.
Summary of Features
Boggle is a simple game where you're given a 4x4 grid of letters and have to spell words on them by connecting the letters together, and you earn more points the longer words you find. It's a simple loop that's extremely easy to understand, and it's also rife for fun modifiers in the style of Balatro. You could have modifiers like getting double score if you spell a color, or a modifier that lets any vowel count for any other vowel, or you could over time modify your dice to only have S, E, N, and L, and then spell SENSELESSNESS every round and get a billion points.
