Dogpile screenshot. You can see a bone goal on the left that says 360. The upper left is a wallet with $0. The top of the screen shows two cards: a leash and a Chihuahua (ace card). Under that is the playfield: a rectangular pit with 15 dogs in it, all various breeds, shapes, and sizes. Two of them are wrapped ina. blue string (a type of debuff in the game). On the right side is your deck of cards and under that is a collar with a dog tag on it.

The merge gameplay makes this a smart entrypoint for self-proclaimed roguelike dummies.
