Does a badge require 5 or more than 5 cards?
I saw that some of my games such as Friday the 13th have a different number of cards, the question is Do I need all of those cards or just 5 different cards?

You need the entire amount of cards for each game. If a game has 5 cards you need them all, if a game has 15 cards you need them all.

You can see the badge that requires cards in order to be crafted.

As mentioned above, games have varying numbers of cards. One thing that is always true is that you get half the cards (rounded up if the number is odd) for free as drops I love games with 5, 6 or 7 card sets. One booster pack usually completes the set.

Well... you forgot that higher card counts sets have cheaper booster packs. Subtotal it is the very same you need to spend.

Lets say you have a set of 6 cards. 3 cards will drop and you need exactly one booster pack to finish it. The booster pack costs 1000 gems to craft.
Now lets say you have a set of 12 cards. 6 cards will drop and you need 2 booster packs to finish. Each booster pack for a 12 cards set costs 500 gems so you would spend 1000 gems in total.

The overall price to finish the set stays the same even if it was 100 cards per set since then the booster pack would cost 60 gems because it is a hard-coded formula to calculate the amount of gems needed: 6000 divided by the number of cards needed.
As well as it is a hard-coded formula to calculate the amount of drops: the amount of cards needed divided by 2 and ceiled

I get the vast majority of my booster packs without spending gems, through random chance when other people craft their badges (at the wrong time of the year).
