~~The~~ '''Barrel of Monkeys''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It has no ~~special properties~~, ~~though~~ it has the most charges of any Monkey.

'''Barrel of Monkeys''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It has no additional effect, but it has the most charges of any Monkey.

The card art depicts five [[Dart Monkey (BCS)|Dart Monkey]]s in a barrel on water. In-game, the monkeys have identical ~~stats and~~ in-game models to regular Dart Monkeys, but they are treated as a separate card and display the Barrel of Monkeys card when selected.

==Tips==

*This card competes with [[Dart Monkey Twins]], which is more cost-efficient when at least two twins are placed. However, this card is more space-efficient ~~and~~ better for emergency burst damage.

*This card competes with [[Dart Monkey Twins]], which is more cost-efficient when at least two twins are placed. However, this card is more space-efficient per card, better for emergency burst damage, and is a better combo card for things that rely on placing Monkeys.

*As the cheapest way to fill ~~a board~~ with Dart Monkeys, this card works well as a setup for [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BCS)|Super Monkey Fan Club]] and/or [[Total Transformation Monkey]].

**As the cheapest way to fill four spaces with Dart Monkeys, this card works well as a setup for [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BCS)|Super Monkey Fan Club]] and/or [[Total Transformation Monkey]]. It also works well for boosting [[Marketplace (BCS)|Marketplace]]'s Gold generation.

*Having the most charges, Barrel of Monkeys is a reliable way for triggering On Replace effects such as those from [[Quincy Action Figure]] and [[Monkey Priestess]].

**Having the most charges, Barrel of Monkeys is a reliable way for triggering On Replace effects such as those from [[Quincy Action Figure]] and [[Monkey Priestess]]. The many charges are also helpful for [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s sacrifices.

**Like many multi-charge Monkey cards, Barrel of Monkeys is a great choice for activating Clever Bloons (especially [[Clever Green Bloon|Clever Green]] and [[Clever Yellow Bloon|Clever Yellow]]).

*Armored Bloons (e.g. [[Lead Bloon (BCS)|Lead Bloon]], [[Lead Zeppelin]]) and Armored Powers (e.g. [[Lead Casing]], [[Mass Lead Production]]) are an effective choice against Barrel of Monkeys, as each individual Monkey from this card does low damage.

==Update history==

==Development==

The community playtesters on Version 5.2 had playtested a nerf to Barrel of Monkeys by decreasing their charges from 5. It was playtested with 3 charges, but reverted to 4 after playtesters noted how weak the card became.

==Trivia==

*Prior to changes in version 5.2, the Barrel of Monkeys had the most charges of any card in the game's history. It is currently tied with the [[Discount Bloon]] for the most charges.
