Niches / Strategy + Tabletop

Niche

Strategy + Tabletop

Games tagged both Strategy and Tabletop: 273 indie paid launches, 18 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.
  • From 26,758 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 2 Nov 2026. How it is measured.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

Strategy + Tabletop is about level with Strategy and is about level with Tabletop: 21.4 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 19.5 in 100 for Strategy and 19.7 in 100 for Tabletop.

That is about 1.0 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.

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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 42 games tagged both Strategy and Tabletop priced $10 to $20. 21.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 19.4 in 100 for Strategy-only games and 4 of 24 for Tabletop-only games, so the mix is about level with Strategy alone and is too small to compare with Tabletop alone.

Both: 42 games priced $10 to $20; 21.4 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 83 in 100 · $10k+ 50 in 100 · $100k+ 21 in 100.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 42 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.
