Hey guys, it seems I'm quite unlucky. Got only 3 cards in 2 days and I'm level 800 something, actively participating in it.

So far it seems that you get a sure card for joining the first game of any day and the rest are random drops. So those of you who got the random drops, can you please tell when did you get the drops, your level in the game, how actively you have been participating, etc. It may help us unlucky people to get the random drops.

Thank you in advance!

Around level 1200+ and have gotten 3 drops, the badge says 3 card drops remaining, but I have no idea what that means... It would have been cool if they could drop from bosses or something, Idk.

The drops remaining on the badge just tells you how many you've earned already. It's backwards of the normal badges since they an't actually predict how many cards you'll earn (due to the 1 for every $10 drop).

I think number of cards you can get is not based on level. I think could be based on time while game is open and "playing" same than standard card drops in standard games

Some people I know were totally afk and still got 3 cards yesterday so it may not be based on playing time. And I played for at least 6-7 hours and still got only 1 random drop yesterday.

You played 6-7 hours? For the love of god. They should give you a medal, not cards...

Yeah, I played 3 hours straight as soon as Sale started (was struck on the boss level with never ending spawns) and about 3-4 hours in the morning in intervals of 15-20 mins. :D

EDIT: Sale started at 11.30 PM in my timezone.

It would be embarassing if valve publicly releases player's monster game stats. Everyone will know how much people clicked, and wasted hours of playtime on a really simple game. Once you start clicking it is really surprising how the game tricks us to keep on clicking.

I didn't even start clicking. I just use the auto-fire cannon and voilà.

Related question: how do I get them to drop? It says I have 2 cards unlocked on the minigame page, and 2 card drops remaining on the badge page, but I'm not getting any cards.

The wording is a bit incorrect on the badge page, the cards unlocked is actual amount of cards you have got so far from the game, check "how do I earn card drops" and you'll see the actual amount of cards you have got.

It's broken for me, it says I unlocked 4 cards when I really got 0, and it said from the beginning that I have no card drops remaining.
Anyone else?

It happened to me only with the first card, that actually unlocked along with the second card.
Maybe you will get them with one of your next drops.

You could send a ticket to support, but I don't know if you will receive a reply in time...

My alt account also has 3 cards unlocked and no card drops remaining, I think it may be because I never spent real money in that account.

Might have to do with your low profile level. If I remember correctly, it was level 8 to get card from voting during the last winter sale, they may be relevant.

Not any more. They even dropped the requirement to level 5, which more or less means "craft one game badge". The drops are completely random with no factors such as game level and Steam level.

There are some errors somewhere then.

My brother just raised his profile level to 8 (was 3), got all the cards at once. Before that, the mini game page shows number of cards unlocked, but nothing shows up in inventory. Some Reddit users reported the same issue.

Considering it is Steam, I would hazard the guess that yes, there is some error. Maybe they wanted to say level 8 but had a typo there. Since I'm way past that, I cannot really confirm what the minimum level may be.

It may be because of the level as the guys said above. I'm going to try and craft a badge in my alt.

It IS actually because of the level. Craft 2 badges and you'll reach level 8, unlocking all the cards you earned.

Where does it say anything about a level limitation?

Comment has been collapsed.

Valve wrote level 5 on the minigame instructions, but it's actually wrong, it's 8.
I read many people from reddit leveled up to level 8 and got all the cards at once.
Also, many others at level 5 had the same problem and leveled up to level 8 to see the cards drop.
My alt account was at level 8 because last year and last winter the level restriction was 8 and had no problem about this.

I have nothing to gain and you seem clearly defensive about this, but wherever I go, I read about people with the same problem resolving just like this!

Oh I'm not being defensive about it, sorry if I made it seem this way O:

Constantly try to rejoin a brand new game after 3-4 hours of no drops. This is how it worked for me for a second card. The drop system, like the whole game in general, seems to be terribly coded and glitchy.
I really don't know what was the problem with the cards for votes system… Maybe the fact that is was of the few parts of Steam that still worked.

Thanks for the advice. Started a new one and instantly got a card.

You are welcome. If you are farming for Steam levls, keep in mind though that the Monster Game card's XP is based on max level, so you can get more XP if you stay and accept the no-card fact and try to reach extreme levels. Although it depends on your crew too. Some games are so slow it's painful.

You meant the Monster Game badge xp is based on max level not card right?
My highest level is 700 it gives 200 xp. I'm fine with that.
My main priority is to farm cards. :) Na és most megyek eszek valamit :D

Level 1500, zero card drops.

I'd say it has nothing to do with how much you play the game. Because I did.

(Didn't get a card for/after joining my first game today. Nor after any boss.)

it doesnt matter what level you are or if you have the game open you only need to start playing the game and then you'll randomly get a card drop, up to 3 in 24 hours.

"you still receive your card drops (3 per 24-hour period*) after closing the game, but it resets each day at 9am PT (see the Previous 48-hour Dailies/Flash Sales countdown timers above and subtract an hour), so don't forget to rejoin -- an easy way to keep this in mind is "New Dailies = New game"

If you really want drops you should play CSGO and DOTA 2. At least these are a little more consistent.

This thing is broken. It should work like normal games - counting how long you play the game and should not require you to start over. I mean, when you level up to higher levels, you also level up your badge, it should not force you to start a new game just to get extra cards, because then leveling up your badge will get harder.

on the badges page it says that i got 3 cards and i still have 3 card drops, it would be awesome if steam could fix whatever makes the slowest card drops ever or be more explicit about how to get them
i know that steam is a stats whore and loves millions of users online but geez, not everyone can be online 24/7!
