Valve has just announced a new beta for Steam Trading Cards. This new system will reward players with various cards that can be collected and redeemed for game badges, profile background, emoticons, coupons, and more.

Released in beta today, Steam Trading Cards allows customers to earn Steam rewards for playing the games they love. Those who participate will receive game-specific trading cards that can be collected to earn rewards such as game badges, profile backgrounds, emoticons, coupons, and more.

The group of titles participating in the Steam Trading Cards beta includes Don't Starve, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2. The service will expand over the coming months to include many more titles on Steam.

For more information on this new system, be sure to head on over to the official Trading Cards page on the Steam Community. Right now, the beta is invite only and Valve is adding people in the order in which they join the Steam Trading Cards group, so act fast!
