Three Mines 'Round is a Beginner map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 51.0. It takes place in a desert with a layout based on 3 Times Around from Bloons TD 5. It features removable Bananite crystals that block line of sight and take several rounds to remove, but return more cash than they cost once removed.

Layout

The path starts at the top going down, loops three times anticlockwise around the center of the map, and exits at the bottom. The dried river to the left of the path has small puddles of water for water towers and allows land towers to be placed on the dried land and bridges, but not on the riverbanks. The rocks with Bananite crystals and the tent in the top-left block placement and line of sight.

Bananite crystals

This map features six rocks with Bananite crystals that take 10 rounds to remove, except the one in the bottom-right corner, which takes 20 rounds. They earn the same amount of cash on all modes and difficulty levels, even in CHIMPS, Half Cash, and Deflation, but not with Double Cash Mode. Visually, a monkey resembling a Bloontonium Miner appears and mines the crystals while it is being removed (three appear for the one in the bottom-right).

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. The editor who added this notice elaborates: More strategy could be written to optimize crystals. Need a "basic map strategies" section as a new page for common vantage points such as curves, overlaps, intersections, straight lines, and more

This section was last updated for: version 55.1

Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop being very long and giving most towers 3–4 opportunities to target Bloons. While the coverage at the middle of the big loop is tempting, this location can be prone to chasing unless the tower has an area-of-effect (such as a range-buffed Inferno Ring). Instead, some of the optimal spots are near the parts of the lane that intersect.

This map can be beaten with general strategies listed here.

• Basic Deflation strategies
• Basic Apopalypse strategies
• Basic Half Cash strategies
• Basic Alternate Bloons Rounds strategies
• Basic Impoppable strategies
• Basic CHIMPS strategies

The cheapest crystal is almost always worth harvesting, as it is more cost-efficient than early Banana Farms on Medium. Outside of CHIMPS, Deflation and Half Cash, though, the other crystals are not as efficient as traditional farming methods (even on Impoppable), and generally should only be removed if the space or open sight lines are needed. The last crystal especially is too expensive and leaves the player in a deficit for too long to be worth it outside of CHIMPS challenge runs, and it's the only crystal that does not provide extra land. It is generally better to invest in some crystals during easy rounds and ignore the more expensive crystals.

Early version of the map

In the early access videos, Ethan Reid received a different build of the game compared to the rest of content creators and, along with an earlier name for the Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker, it showcased an earlier version of the map where it takes place at night, leading to darker lighting with brighter spots around the lamps and the campfire, and the costs and returns are assigned to different crystals.

Location	Cost in Ethan Reid's video	Cost in other videos
Under the loop	$435	$435
Left side	$50,000	$3,000
Bottom-right inside the loop	$25,000	$10,000
Above the loop	$10,000	$25,000
Top-left inside the loop	$3,000	$50,000
Bottom right corner	$100,000	$100,000
