Trading cards help you get levels, chat emotes, wallpapers and other customization stuff for your profile, basically you get levels when you get particular set of right cards from game (you can see your progress in "badge" section. And cards you can get by playing games or trading in marketplace with other people.

card drops differs from games, like, some games are made to drop more cards than others. if you are really into feeling of obtaining as much cards as possible in shortest amount of time, I suggest you to go to marketplace and buy cards for money

Does the game have trading cards, and if so, do you have any drops left? Look under the badge section to see what drops you have left.

Just keep playing if it says you have drops remaining.
