Bloons Card Storm (abbreviated BCS) is an upcoming competitive card battling game in the Bloons franchise. The game is played with two players competing against each other by taking turns playing cards. On each turn, players can play Bloon cards to attack the opponent, Monkey cards to defend against the opponent's Bloons, Power cards to activate beneficial effects and/or disrupt the opponent, or use their Hero's abilities, with the objective being to reduce the opposing Hero's health to 0. Many of the game's elements are based on Bloons TD 6, including the aesthetics and many of the Monkeys, Bloons, and Powers.

On 23 May 2024, it was announced that an early access build of the Windows release called the Firstlook test would be distributed to a limited number of applicants on the official Ninja Kiwi Discord server. This build features two Heroes, five preset decks with no support for customization, and two game modes: an offline Adventure mode where the player can battle against bots with specific decks, and an online Duel mode that was only accessible from 4 June 2024 to 7 June 2024.

Gameplay

Cards

Players can have a maximum of 40 cards in their deck and 8 in their hand. Each player starts with 4 cards and draws one at the start of their turn, unless their hand is full. Cards can only be played during the player's turn. All cards have the following attributes:

• Cost: The amount of Gold that must be spent in order to play the card. Costs range from 0 to 12.
• Rarity: Cards can be either Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, or Ultra Rare, which displays a badge at the bottom of the card. This determines what materials are used to craft the card.

There are three types of cards:

• Bloons: Bloon cards are the main way of attacking the opponent. Each Bloon has a Delay stat that determines how many turns the opponent has to defend and a Health stat that determines both how much damage the Bloon can take and deal. If the turn delay is exhausted, the Bloon attacks the opponent's Hero at the end of the player's turn, dealing as much damage as it has health remaining. Some Bloon cards can be played more than once before being discarded. Playing a Bloon card also generates Bloontonium equal to the card's Gold cost. Bloons can have additional effects, such as giving extra Gold to the player when destroyed. Each player can have up to 8 Bloons queued at a time, and more Bloons cannot be played if the player's side is full.
• Monkeys: Monkey cards are the main way of defending against Bloons. Each Monkey has an Attack Power stat that determines how much damage they deal to Bloons, an Ammo stat that determines how many times they can attack before needing to reload, and a Reload stat that determines how many turns it takes to restock their ammo. Players can spend ammo to attack their opponent's Bloons at any time during their turn. Monkeys can have additional effects, such as having more attack power when at full ammo. Each player can have up to 5 Monkeys on their side at a time, and existing Monkeys can be replaced by playing new Monkeys if the player's side is full.
• Powers: Power cards instantly trigger an effect when played, then are discarded. Some Powers require a target, such as selecting a Monkey or Bloon to be returned to the opponent's hand, while others have no conditions.

Heroes

Main article: Hero (BCS)

Heroes are special characters that each player starts the game with. All Heroes start with 500 health and come with three abilities. By playing Bloon cards, players earn Bloontonium that can be used to trigger their Hero's abilities. There are two types of abilities: Active, which can be triggered manually by the player and consume Bloontonium, and Passive, which are applied for as long as the Hero is at a certain Bloontonium threshold. When a Hero loses all their health, the opponent wins.

Storm

Main article: Storm (BCS)

The Storm is a mechanic where Bloons are added to the game every few turns. It adds the first Bloon to the side of the player that did not go first, then adds another Bloon to the opposite side on the next turn, then waits a few more turns before appearing again. The Bloons spawned by the Storm get stronger as the game goes on, starting with Yellow Bloons, then Ceramic Bloons, then MOABs, and finally BFBs.

Maps

Unlike in the Bloons TD series, all maps have the same layout. Each map is distinguished by having a unique gameplay modifier. The Firstlook build includes four playable maps, three of which use the same background (presumably as a placeholder).

Map	Description
	Monkey Meadow Where adventure begins! No special rules.
	Dark Castle Bloons gain +5 Health.
	Workshop Players start with 1 extra card in their opening hand.
	High Finance Players start with 3 additional Gold.
	Wasteland At the start of each turn: Deal 10 damage to the other Hero.
	Game Night Monkeys have +5 Attack Power.
