What does badge level in a game mean and what does foil mean?
What are the requisites for these?

I have nothing better to do, so would like to find a nice fox badge to add to my profile. Kudos if you know of any good ones.

Badge level in a game? Nothing. It’s just something for your Steam profile and crafting those increases your Steam level. Levels which are virtually pointless except for adding showcase slots and increasing your possible number of friends.

There are guides that list different badges.

Nevermind I found it. I will leave it here in case anyone else is interested in it.

Badges can have 5 levels and there's a special one called foil.

You get a badge when you complete all the cards for a game (not all games have these).

You can increase the level of the badge up to lv5, for this you need to get 1 extra set of cards for each level. You need to buy or trade these.

The foil badge is based on cards that are silver and have 2% chance of dropping instead of a normal card. If you can collect all the cards you can make a special badge called foil badge.

Each of these badges gives 100XP so you can get a total of 600XP in a game if you make all the badges.

This is only relevant for people who care about their steam level or want to have a cute badge on their profile to make it look unique.

The steam tutorial is very bad at explaining it.

You don't. It has and will always be 1/100.
