'''Cards''' are the core gameplay mechanic of ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. They come in three major card types: [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] cards, [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] cards, and [[Power (BCS)|Power]] cards. Each player has a [[deck]] that consists of exactly 40 cards. | '''Cards''' are the core gameplay mechanic of ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. They come in three major card types: [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] cards, [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] cards, and [[Power (BCS)|Power]] cards. Each player has a [[deck]] that consists of exactly 40 cards. Players can obtain more cards primarily by crafting them with [[Token (BCS)|Token]]s or by opening [[Card Pack]]s. A player can own up to three copies of each card (except Unique cards, which only allow the player to create one copy). Cards a player owns are stored in the Card Collection menu. | ||
At the start of each match, but before the first turn, each player draws their starting hand from their deck. The player that will go first draws 3 cards, while the other player draws 4 cards. Before the first turn, each player can [[wp:mulligan (games)|mulligan]] one card in their starting hand up to three times (or five times in some singleplayer modes). During a match, players can play cards during their turn (and only on their turn). Some cards can also be played by the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] or by using Hero Abilities. At the start of each turn (including the first turn, after the starting hands are drawn), the turn player draws one card (unless their hand is full or their deck is empty). | At the start of each match, but before the first turn, each player draws their starting hand from their deck.

There are a total of {{generic cargo count|bcs_cards|where=NOT unused AND NOT upcoming}} cards. Of these, {{generic cargo count|bcs_cards|where=NOT unused AND NOT upcoming AND pack="None"}} do not appear in the collection, do not belong to any card sets, and cannot be crafted or added to a normal deck. Most of them are cards created by other cards or [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] Abilities, such as [[Baby Monkey]], which only appears after using [[Shrink]] on a [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] card. | |||
