Steam Trading Cards are virtual cards earned by playing games on Steam, which can be turned into game badges and tradable Steam community items.
Contents
Methods of obtaining cards
For the most games participating the feature, Steam Trading Cards will be dropped up to half the set through game play, while the rest must be obtained by trading, purchasing through the Steam Community Market, or opening a booster pack.
While for some other games including Team Fortress 2, the card drops can be obtained by spending a certain amount of money via Steam.
Approximately, for every $9 spent in Mann Co. Store, a Steam Trading Card drop of Team Fortress 2 will be granted.
Booster pack
Booster packs containing 3 additional cards will be granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community.
A player will become eligible for a booster pack after receiving all of the card drops of the corresponding game, and have to log in to Steam each week to maintain eligibility.
Booster packs are tradable and can be purchased through the Steam Community Market.
Rewards for crafting badges
Once a user collects an entire set of cards, the cards may be crafted into a game badge. After crafting a badge, users receive random rewards from a set of game-related items: profile backgrounds, emoticons, and coupons for another game or for a DLC. These are tradable and may only be used while the user possesses them. A user can level up badges by collecting the set again and crafting it again.
Badges are tied to user accounts and are shown on profile pages. All badges have XP which contributes to Steam Level, a summary of user badge collection. A user's Steam Level may be viewed by hovering over their avatar or by visiting their profile page. Leveling up earns users non-tradable items like profile showcases and extra friends list slots.
A user may choose which badge they wish to feature on their profile. Featured badges are displayed on the top-right of profile pages, directly under the Steam Level.
Users can customize their profile with showcases. Each 10 Steam Levels will grant a user 1 showcase slot. Available showcases include Rarest Achievement, Game Collector, Item Showcase, Items Up For Trade, Badge Collector, Favorite Game, Screenshot Showcase, Custom Info Box, Favorite Group, Workshop Showcase, Favorite Guide, Achievement Showcase, Salien Stats, Awards, Completionist.
