How do you get Steam trading cards?

Steam Cards are a great way to enhance your gaming experience. Playing the games with Steam Card support allows you to earn cards and trade them with friends or strangers. If you don't know which of the games you own have Steam Card support, follow these instructions:

  1. Open up the Steam client on your PC and select your username at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on the Badges option in the drop-down menu.
  3. Find a game with card drops available and select the Play option.
  4. Play the game and earn more cards!

Whenever you earn cards, the envelope icon at the top of the Steam client will turn green, indicating that you have a new card. You can also buy cards on the Steam Community Marketplace or open booster packs to get even more.
