Just took look at your games ...

Arma does not have cards.
Arma 2 does not have cards.
Killing Floor 2 does not have cards.
DayZ does not have cards.

All the games on your account that have card drops already dropped all their free cards.


Arma 3 has 8 different cards. You get 4 free drops from playing / idling the game. Duplicate cards, like the ones you got from Arma 3 count as a card drop. That's how the Steam trading card system works. To get the remaining cards to craft the badge you need to trade with friends or buy them off the Steam market.

What ever Idle Master is telling you you have for card drops remaining is correct. It pulls that info directly from your badge page. That is why you sign in to Idle Master.

Take a look at your badge page. It will show you there what games have cards drops that you own as well as what remaining free drops the game has left. Games with remaining drops will have a green PLAY button on them.

Also I suggest you read this:

It explains in detail how the trading card system works.

so Idle Master only gives you 4 cards per game?

Did you read the FAQ page posted above? Steam only gives you a certain number of cards per game. If a game has cards, you're only eligible to receive a certain number (half of the available cards, rounded up). Regardless of whether you use Idle Master or actually play the game, you will still only get that number of card drops per game.

aw ok thanks
