You can obtain event cards through the browsing exploration queue during each Steam sale. Clicking each time can be time-consuming, so using a script can quickly go through the queue. This is available in the 2023 Summer Sale.
A special tip: If you encounter warnings like "This game is not available in your country," you can adjust it in the settings by filtering out adult content, and you won't see similar prompts in the queue in the future.
- Login to Steam on the Chrome browser.
- Open the exploration queue page.
- Press "F12" to open the console.
- Find the "Console" tab.
- Copy the code and press enter to run it.
