The middle of these games

≈ 1.6M–2.5M copies

≈ $9.4M after Steam's cut

from ~51k 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: Slay the Spire at ≈ 6.3M–10.2M copies, ≈ $43.1M–$116.0M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Card Game (6 of 8) and Trading Card Game (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Roguelike Deckbuilder + Card Game, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Roguelike Deckbuilder + Rogue-like + Card Battler; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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).
