I tried playing the Summer Sale clicking game for a bit, but it's pretty boring.
The description says that playing will win you Steam trading cards. But how: is it just time spent clicking?

You certainly can find the same card twice, or even three times! And it does, sadly, count toward your card drops.
I managed to get 3 Wolfgang cards from Don't Starve, a game that only gives you three card drops.
Also, you can trade for duplicate cards. I traded my Portal 2 Destruction card to a friend who was then able to trade it back to me, despite my having a second Destruction card in my inventory.
All games have:
- A max of 5 levels for the regular badge.
- A max of 1 level for the Foil badge.
A few examples:
Most Steam seasonal sales have:
- A theoretical max of ∞ levels for the regular badge.
- A theoretical max of ∞ level for the Foil badge.
All Steam seasonal sales so far with ∞ badge levels:
The Steam Winter Sale of 2013 was the first to set the precedent, in which for the first time both foil and regular badges were able to level up as many times possible during the event. This meant that users could easily complete badges and quickly level up their Steam accounts, without a "level cap" on the badge.
A few examples of users with high levels of badges:
From the Steam Winter Sale on out, most of the other Steam seasonal sales feature badges unlimited levels (exception is the Summer Getaway Sale), so theoretically, there's no limit to how many levels you can get with any of those badges.

All you have to do to get the free cards from the game is play the game, and the game plays itself even if you're not actively watching/playing it. Even if you load the game once and then close the tab, you'll still get cards from "playing." (I've gotten one card so far this way, after loading the game once and having the tab just lock up on me)
The maximum number of free cards from the game is 3 per day, and they're given to you at random intervals over the course of the 24 hour period.
The reason to really "play" the game is to help unlock the community goals and allow for more games to go on sale.
