For maps in the Bloons TD series, see Map.
Icon for maps

Maps (also called Arenas) are environments in Bloons Card Storm that apply additional rules to the game. Before each match begins, one map is selected at random. Each player can use one skip to reroll the map before the match starts, which will always be a different map from the previous one (or two if the other player skipped first). During the match, the current map's modifier can be seen at any time by selecting the map icon in the top-right corner. There are five maps in the final game, but there were four maps in the Firstlook test and six maps in the Full Playable test, with the final game removing Game Night.

Monkey Meadow

"Monkey Meadow (BCS)" redirects here. For the map in Bloons TD 6, see Monkey Meadow.
Monkey Meadow
Where adventure begins! No special rules.

Monkey Meadow has no modifiers. It takes place in a grassy clearing surrounded by woods, with a small creek that runs down the middle.

Monkey Meadow was revealed in the March 2024 Developer Diary with concept artwork,[1] and was playable in the Firstlook test. In the Firstlook test, Monkey Meadow had a very different appearance from both the final version and the concept art: the play field was more enclosed and had a dirt ground with lines in it to separate the play areas, it was decorated with objects such as targets and wooden barrels, it lacked the creek, and it was less saturated overall.

Strategy

Maps have very little impact on the viability of decks and cards. There's little reason to build decks for specific maps, though some of them do marginally benefit certain playstyles.

  • Dark Castle favors aggro. The extra health can allow Bloons to survive some interactions they would normally lose to from full health, such as Golden Bloons being able to survive two Tack Shooter hits on defense.
  • Workshop is about as neutral as Monkey Meadow.
  • High Finance slightly favors combo decks, while overall neutral for most decks.
  • Game Night favors control. For instance, the +5 Attack Power prevents Bed Time from targeting some Monkeys without monkey debuffs. Also, extra Attack Power marginally makes bloons easier to destroy.
  • Badlands favors aggro. Passive opponent life loss opens more opportunities for finishing moves. Additionally, Corvus Academy of Arts may waste shots on the minor HP loss per round instead of multiple Bloons.

Update history

Version 1.2

  • There is now a 3-second delay after an opponent is found and after one player vetoes where the veto option is disabled
