Turns in Bloons Card Storm determine when players can play cards and use Hero Abilities. The player that can perform actions switches on each turn. In modes with an AI opponent, the human player always goes first, while in competitive modes, the turn order is assigned at random.
Every turn has three major phases: the start-of-turn phase, the middle phase where the player can act, and the end-of-turn phase. In the start-of-turn and end-of-turn phases, the player cannot perform any actions and any effects that trigger in these phases occur in a specific order. The middle phase begins immediately after the start-of-turn phase ends, the end-of-turn phase begins once the player ends their turn or their timer runs out, and the next player's start-of-turn phase begins immediately after the previous player's end-of-turn phase ends.
The term "turn" is used in-game to refer to both the individual turns of each player, as well as the turn counter (represented by a number inside a blue square in the top-left corner of the UI), which increments at the very start of the first player's turn. Similarly, the Storm counter increments at the very end of the second player's turn, though if the counter is at zero, it activates during both player's turns.

- The player draws a card (if able), or loses by decking out if their deck is empty.
- The player can take actions.
End of turn
- The player can no longer take actions.
- On Turn End effects of all Monkeys except Blade Maelstrom trigger.
- Blade Maelstrom triggers.
- On Fire Bloons take damage.
- Amelia's Bloon Shield and Obyn's Nature's Shield trigger.
- Acid Pools deal damage.
- Defense Prep Bloons and Lead Coating Bloons trigger.
- Temporary Monkeys with no regular ammo left disappear.

Footnotes
- ↑ On a Monkey's reload step, its reload counter decrements, it regains all ammo if it reaches zero, and it triggers any On Reload effect it has if it reloaded. It also triggers any On Turn Start effect at the same time. Its reload counter does not decrement if it is Temporary or Stunned.
- ↑ On an advance step, the Bloon stops being stunned if it was stunned on the previous turn, or attacks if at zero delay, or its delay counter decrements if not at zero delay and not Immobile.
