'''Maps''' (also called '''Arenas''') are environments in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' that apply additional rules to the game. Before each match begins, one map is selected at random. Each player can use one skip to reroll the map before the match starts, which will always be a different map from the previous one (or two if the other player skipped first). During the match, the current map's modifier can be seen at any time by selecting the map icon in the top-right corner.
'''Maps''' (also called '''Arenas''') are environments in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' that apply additional rules to the game. Before each match begins, one map is selected at random. Each player can use one skip to reroll the map before the match starts, which will always be a different map from the previous one (or two if the other player skipped first). During a match, the current map's modifier can be seen at any time by selecting the map icon in the top-right corner.
 
In the Firstlook test, there were four playable maps, with the Full Playable test adding two more. The App Store and Google Play page descriptions state that there are "5 Arenas to battle on", which suggests that one of the maps will not appear at launch.<ref>[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninjakiwi.bloonscardstorm ''Bloons Card Storm'' on Google Play]</ref><ref>[https://apps.apple.com/app/bloons-card-storm/id6478193271 ''Bloons Card Storm'' on the App Store]</ref>

It had a different appearance in the Firstlook test and Full Playable test, where it was a platform within the walls of a castle with lava channels separating the Bloon track, [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] areas, and [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] platforms into sections.

{{BCS last updated|6.2|section=y}}
Maps have very little impact on the viability of cards and decks, so there's little reason to build decks for specific maps.
For the most part, maps have little impact on the viability of decks and cards. The exception is Badlands, where the start-of-turn damage consumes [[Corvus Academy of Arts]]' Ammo, making that card significantly less effective.
*Dark Castle favors aggro. The extra health can allow Bloons to survive some interactions they would normally lose to from full health, such as [[Golden Bloon (BCS)|Golden Bloon]]s being able to survive two [[Tack Shooter (BCS)|Tack Shooter]] hits on defense.
 
There's little reason to build decks for specific maps, though some of them do slightly benefit certain playstyles.
*Dark Castle favors aggro. The extra health can allow Bloons to survive some interactions they would normally lose to from full health, such as [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] surviving a hit from [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]].
*Workshop is about as neutral as Monkey Meadow.
*Workshop is about as neutral as Monkey Meadow.
*High Finance slightly favors combo decks, but is overall neutral for most decks.
*Badlands favors aggro. The passive damage opens more opportunities for finishing moves. It also favors Mountain Obyn if the opponent lacks life healing.
*Game Night favors control. The extra Attack Power particularly benefits cheap swarming Monkeys with low base Attack Power, like the [[Barrel of Monkeys]]. It also prevents [[Bed Time]] from affecting some Monkeys without Attack Power debuffs.
*Bloontonium Refinery favors Heroes that rely on Bloontonium, but mostly depends on Hero choice and deck. Obyn tends to benefit the most from the extra Bloontonium, as he can access Wolves and Nature's Shield sooner.
