How these estimates are made

A Tale in the Desert

We estimate that about 29 people play A Tale in the Desert on a typical day (most likely between 7 and 86), based on data from Nov 10, 2026. Around 13,000 accounts (between 4,500 and 30,000) have played it at some point. A Tale in the Desert publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

CardLife

We estimate that about 99 people play CardLife on a typical day (most likely between 23 and 290), based on data from Nov 10, 2026. Around 120,000 accounts (between 92,000 and 150,000) have played it at some point. CardLife is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
