≈ 3k–7k copies

≈ $4k–$10k after Steam's cut

from ~126 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Zen Chess: Mate in One at ≈ 14k–23k copies, ≈ $4k–$10k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 20 reviews in their first month; the range was 15 to 44.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Puzzle (6 of 8) and Tabletop (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Chess + Puzzle, priced around $1.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
