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 gold crystal clusters and the tent in the top-left block placement and [[line of sight]].

==Bananite crystals==
This map features six gold crystal clusters 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]] and [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]]. Visually, a monkey resembling a [[Bloontonium Miner]] appears and mines the crystals while it is being removed.

==Strategy==
{{strategy needed}}
Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop, allowing towers to cover most of the path from a single point. Notably, the extent of the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s range perfectly covers the full loop, allowing it to maximize the potential of [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]] and [[Bullseye (BTD6)|Bullseye]]. It can be beaten with general strategies listed here.

In the [[Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker#Early access videos|early access]] videos, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0m3UAb0Hx0 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 the most notable differences are that the map is apparently played during the night leading to a darker lightning with brighter spots around the lamps and the campfire, and the mining cost of most crystals is shuffled around (with the same return according to the cost).
