The Card Game lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 709 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 are breakout hits far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Strategy, priced around $17.
  • The breakout hits carry Strategy + Deckbuilding + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
