There aren't any, that part of it is over now, originally come reset time on the 20th, the "game" was going to be gone too, but today they decided to extended that to the 22nd apparently, it's possible it won't give cards past today though. Usually community voting, and therefore the means to get free cards ended two, or three days before the sale ended/cards expired, so the "game" at least was going to do the same. Then the sale will be over on the 21st, and the sale cards will expire on the 22nd.

I think the sale ends the 22th, since when you are on a game store page, it says "offer ends on June 22".
So I guess tomorrow is the encore sale, and the deals will last 48 hours.

Summer sale prices will end at 10am (or was it 9am, usually they like 10am) PDT on the 22nd, but the last of the new deals, and such will start on the 21st, or 20th. If you look around you'll see they advertise the sale period as being the 11th, to the 21st, likely as that will be the last full day the sale prices will be available, then special discounted prices usually last 48 hours.

Ha, I thought that there weren't any milestones because the encore sale was starting tomorrow.
So new deals tomorrow minus the milestones, and the encore sale the day after ? And the encore sale consists only of previous deals coming back, no real new deal at all, is that right ?

Well it's not like I work at Valve, so I'm just going by how things normally go. They were, at first evidently treating the "game," the same way as community voting, which always ended a couple, or so days before the sale ended, so the community "game" milestones ended before the sale in the same way. I would imagine the 20th is when the encore sales start too, which marks the end of the sale, and last 48 hours. I didn't mean new as in "some other games we haven't seen on a special sale during the summer sale" sort of new, more in the lines of "a set of different special sales than we have today" sort of new.

The last round of special sales would start at likely 10am PDT on the 20th, and last 48 hours, or 21st, and last 24 hours, but likely the 20th with 48 hours. Then as those prices only extend into the 22nd for the PDT time zone just ten hours, they just advertise the sale ends on the 21st.

This is the last day of new deals, so there wont be any milestones for tomorrow or Sunday.

Winter sale went to encore on January 3rd, which was the Saturday before the end. Its a good bet that is happening tomorrow. Basically the next set of flash deals is the last batch of new games to be on sale.

The majority of milestones sucked anyhow... possibly the worst Steam sale yet.
