How many people play turn-based strategy games on Steam?

The ten most played turn-based strategy games have 152,014 players on Steam between them right now. These are Steam players only: games that also run on their own launcher or on console have players this number cannot see.

Which games count as turn-based strategy games?

Games whose Steam players voted "Turn-Based Strategy" as one of their defining tags: among the game's five most-voted tags, with at least half as many votes as the top one. A game that merely has a few Turn-Based Strategy votes does not count, which keeps the list to games that are turn-based strategy games, not games with a Turn-Based Strategy moment in them.
