Your set: Your set clusters on Turn-Based Tactics (8 of 8) and Card Battler (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Tactics, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Superhero + Deckbuilding + Turn-Based Combat; a typical game here doesn't.

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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
