The middle of these games

≈ 534k–783k copies

≈ $4.4M–$7.1M after Steam's cut

from ~15k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Tabletop Simulator at ≈ 3.6M–5.9M copies, ≈ $19.9M–$53.6M 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 6k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 778 to 17k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Card Game (8 of 8) and Board Game (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tabletop + Simulation, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Tabletop + Simulation + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2025, and 1 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
