How to Farm Steam Trading Cards Automatically

The Card Farming feature allows you to automatically farm trading cards from your Steam games without needing to download or play them. This is ideal for users looking to collect cards for badge crafting or marketplace sales efficiently.

Because Card Farming is a bit more complex than other features, it is recommended to read the How It Works page first.

You must add your Steam Credentials before you can use this feature.

Users using Steam Sign-in with a Gamer tier subscription do not need to manually enter their Steam credentials.

Farm All Games With Drops Remaining

Click Card Farming in the sidebar, then click Start

Card Farming will automatically work through all games with card drops remaining in an optimized order, with no extra setup needed

Farm Specific Games Only

If you'd rather farm specific games instead, add those games to your whitelist. While any games are in the whitelist, only those games will be farmed, ignoring all other games.

Click Card Farming in the sidebar

Go to the Games With Drops tab and click the button on individual games to add them to your whitelist

Switch to the Whitelist tab to review what you've added, then click Start

Card Farming Tabs

  • Games With Drops: shows all games in your account with card drops remaining

  • Blacklisted: games excluded from farming entirely, read more
