I dont get those booster packs
I know they drop randomally to random users, but do u need to play the game itself to receive a booster pack from that game?

Because I haven't gotten anything yet since july 11th :(

What I fail to understand is that booster packs drop 3 cards but the packs themselves cost 6 times as much as 3 single cards.
I think you mean "costs 6 times as much as a single card." Otherwise that means a booster pack is 18 times as much as a single card which equates to cards that are worth $0.10 have booster packs that are $1.80.

Anyways, I do agree that booster packs are generally a little overpriced. But you still have to understand that booster packs have a chance at a foil card which actually is worth more than the booster pack itself. That alone means that the booster pack has to cost more than 3 cards otherwise everyone will buy them out immediately. It's a gamble that usually doesn't pay off because foils drop so rarely.

I know this is an old string but I have been on Steam for two years, have all the drop cards from each of my games, I have around 16 games, and I have never gotten a random booster pack. I am probably missing something obvious but being stuck at level 2 for two years is pretty lame. Thanks

Stuck at level two? Have you crafted any badges yet?
spoof 2014 年 2 月 13 日 上午 9:21 
you need to login to steam one time a week or you get no chance at all.

What spoof said.
Also, you need to complete your set of cards for each game with depleted card drops by trading for or buying the missing crads. That way you can craft the badge and raise your level. I deposited 5€ one time to buy cards, and from there on out every badge I made was earned by card drops, trading and buying missing cards using the Steam funds I earned by selling icons, backgrounds and double/foil cards on the market.

I am logged in every week but have never had enough cards to craft a badge. I guess if I want to level up I will have to trade or buy cards. Thanks for the info.

16 games, or 16 games that are eligible for booster packs? You Steam inventory currently shows cards for 5 games.

and I have never gotten a random booster pack. I am probably missing something obvious

Yes -- people often don't understand what "low chance" means.

As for myself, I have received a total of 3 boosters since the cards were introduced sometimes in summer 2013. So your "two years" doesn't mean anything, it's more like half a year.

I've only reached level 10 early this year, so no booster since.

I don't remember how many eligible games I had when I got my first booster, but currently I have 39 eligible games.
"Obviously", I did not have 39 eligible games when the cards were introduced -- I know I had Trine 2 at the time (which was one of the games that had cards from the get-go), and maybe another game, but certainly not many.

I've never bought cards, and never will, and I'm not generally trading between different sets -- I just let the cards sit in my inventory, and when a booster comes along and it makes me have enough cards on that game I trade the duplicates. Or actually, I always trade the duplicates when I get a booster, just so the badges page gets more colorful :-)
This is why it's progressing so slowly. Boosters are just rare; live with it.

2 years?

Trading cards have only been around for about 8 months and just recently has there been an actual increase in eligible games.

Steam level used to range from 1 -10 and increased with the hours of gameplay you had for the last 2 weeks.

To get a booster pack:
  • You must own the game (that you want a booster pack for)
  • You must have used up that game's 'free' card drops
  • Your last log-in date must be sooner then '7 days ago'

I believe how it works is anytime someone crafts a badge, someone eligible will get a booster pack for that game. So therefore, games with a lot of badges crafted will have more booster packs (popular games) then games with few. Looking at my own library, I'm far more likely to get a booster pack for Skyrim than Magical Dairy.

Being higher level also improves your odds, although I'm not sure if it only increases 20% every 10 levels, or if each level is worth 2%.

I have several personal myths regarding booster packs, some of which I've debunked myself:
  • The game must appear in your badges menu
  • You cannot already have a level 5 badge (false)
  • Having 1 account with 3 eligible games will have more booster packs than 3 accounts with 1 eligible game each, all other things being equal
  • Getting foils reduces your odds of getting a booster pack

Since selling all your cards in a game where you don't even have a level 1 badge removes it from the badges menu, I think it might take away eligibility as well, though I can't prove this.

I have gotten a total of two booster packs - one of them was for a game I already had a level 5 badge for. So you CAN get a pack for them.

I saw a Valve employee state #3, although it wasn't in an official faq or anything, it was just someone on these forums that had a valve logo.

And finally, I seem to run into people that have either gotten foils but no booster packs, or vice-versa. I have personally never gotten a foil.

Have all these and never got a booster pack, since the cards FIRST came out, it's annoying and I am online A LOT.

How many eligible games do you have?
Check the badge page for the amount.

Welcome to the RNG.

So far I've recieved around 12 booster packs. Been at it since the Card Beta. Two of them during the Summer Sale and one shortly before. FTL, Trine 2, and one of the Deponia games.

The more games you qualify for, the more chances you have.

Think of it this way. If you are eligible, you are competing against every other eligible user for that game when a pack is created and distributed. So if there are 100,000 users eligible for that game's packs, and one drops, you have a 1/100,000 chance to get it. (With other factors, like level bonus, maybe up to 2/100,000 chance).

You can check how many games you are eligible for by going to your Badges page and click the "View my booster pack eligibility" button.
