Is this a hit board game? The number of BGG ratings and rank (13648) don't reflect that. Does it stand out in some way from the multitude of similar games?

yyyyyeah, 57 ratings on BGG is really low.

Maybe it's a good game, but definetely not a hit.

Reading the article, it looks like it's a hit because Waterstones, a major UK book store chain, ordered and sold 15k+ copies. That means most of the buyers are readers, not necessarily the usual board gamers crowd. Hence its lack of ratings or attention on BGG.

Maybe it was a hit from the creator's perspective, but never heard of it and its like 13k down on the BGG list. Loose definition of "hit"
