Arcade + Board Game

Games tagged both Arcade and Board Game: 41 indie paid launches, 2 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 27 games tagged both Arcade and Board Game priced under $5. 0 of 27 of them earned $100k+, against 0.3 in 100 for Arcade-only games and 0 of 317 for Board Game-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Arcade alone and is too small to compare with Board Game alone.

Both: 27 games priced under $5; 0 of 27 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 1 of 27 launches · $10k+ 1 of 27 launches · $100k+ 0 of 27 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 27 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
