When the whole Steam Card program happened, I probably lost out on a lot of packs because I was slow in getting all my drops from various games. First I had to download the game, then play it (or as I found later, leave it on while I did something else) for however long it took all the free drops to happen, and then and only then could I get packs.

I had quite the backload mostly because when bundles first began, I tried getting all of them... until there just became way too many. As well, some games are so huge that you don't keep them on your computer at all times.

As I write this, I'm down to 2 left. Cook, Serve, Delicious!: I have 2 of the 4 drops left. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified: all 4 drops left.

How close are you to having all your drops?

Dammit! It was 260 a week ago! D:<

Edit: I'm going through all my old bundles to activate any keys that was added because the game was greenlit or some other reason. 9 games added lol.

And BTW, you can idle games without installing them. That is actually one very useful legit purpose for a program like SAM. That came in handy a few times when some of the games would crash on me.

That usage of it is reasonably valid. Now using it to unlock achievements, not so much.

I've got a couple card games that simply refuse to load. Might be worth it just to milk the extra 2-3 cards. :) I'll think about it.

The easiest way is to use the Enhanced Steam browser addon and visit your badges page on steamcommunity.com. The addon will provide a summary of how many games have card / booster drops available.

I idle for the game's cards, I only play the game when I want to and have the time to play it
Though with Playfire I've been a lot more cautious lately about idling the games - especially with new game releases, I wait until Playfire has a reward for playing, before I go and idle the game
There are 2 games though that I want to play through and get the cards from there with actual play instead of idling as per normal, though

And on that note, for people who have these games, Galactic Arms Race and Blockstorm now have cards ;)

Dropping one right now... There are two tricks to drop cards without installing the games. Both of them are safe.
