Card Battler + Fantasy

Games tagged both Card Battler and Fantasy: 55 indie paid launches, 5 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.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 12 games tagged both Card Battler and Fantasy priced $10 to $20. 4 of 12 of them earned $100k+, against 24.3 in 100 for Card Battler-only games and 10.0 in 100 for Fantasy-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Card Battler alone and is too small to compare with Fantasy alone.

Both: 12 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 12 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $23,561.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 12 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.
