The middle of these games

≈ 45k–122k copies

≈ $314k–$418k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

7 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: UNO at ≈ 1.9M–3.0M copies, ≈ $5.1M–$13.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 415 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 121 to 2k.

Your set
Your set clusters on Card Game (5 of 8) and Board Game (4 of 8).

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
