Three Mines 'Round is a Beginner map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 51.0. It takes place in a desert with a layout based on 3 Times Around from Bloons TD 5.[1] It features removable Bananite[2] crystals that block line of sight and take several rounds to remove, but return more cash than they cost once removed.
Layout
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 rocks with Bananite crystals and the tent in the top-left block placement and line of sight.
Bananite crystals
This map features six rocks with Bananite crystals 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, Half Cash, and Deflation, but not with Double Cash Mode. Visually, a monkey resembling a Bloontonium Miner appears and mines the crystals while it is being removed (three appear for the one in the bottom-right).

| Bottom-right inside the loop | $10,000 | $15,000 | $5,000 | $7,035 |
| Above the loop | $25,000 | $37,000 | $12,000 | $19,035 |
| Top-left inside the loop | $50,000 | $72,000 | $22,000 | $41,035 |

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. The editor who added this notice elaborates: More strategy could be written to optimize crystals. Need a "basic map strategies" section as a new page for common vantage points such as curves, overlaps, intersections, straight lines, and more |
Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop being very long and giving most towers 3–4 chances to target Bloons. It can be beaten with general strategies listed here.
Basic Deflation strategies
Basic Apopalypse strategies
Basic Half Cash strategies
Basic Alternate Bloons Rounds strategies
Basic Impoppable strategies
Basic CHIMPS strategies
The cheapest crystal is almost always worth harvesting, as it is more cost-efficient than early Banana Farms on Medium. Outside of CHIMPS, Deflation and Half Cash, though, the other crystals are not as efficient as traditional farming methods (even on Impoppable), and generally should only be removed if the space or open sight lines are needed. The last crystal especially is too expensive and leaves the player in a deficit for too long to be worth it outside of CHIMPS challenge runs. It is generally better to invest in some crystals during easy rounds and ignore the more expensive crystals.

Pre-release
This map was revealed during the update preview notes of version 51.0:
- One of the most popular freeplay maps of all time from Bloons TD5 is being re-imagined in BTD6 style!
- This isn’t a revenge map, no if anything it’s a de-venge map. Ever wanted to get a Paragon in CHIMPS, but you just haven’t quite been able to save up the cash? Well spend enough spare time between Bloon pops mining for gold and you just might get the chance now, make sure to clear those obstacles out of the way!
— Update preview for version 51.0[1]
In the early access videos, 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 it takes place at night, leading to darker lighting with brighter spots around the lamps and the campfire, and the costs and returns are assigned to different crystals.
| Location | Cost in Ethan Reid's video | Cost in other videos |

| Under the loop | $435 | $435 |
| Left side | $50,000 | $3,000 |
| Bottom-right inside the loop | $25,000 | $10,000 |
| Above the loop | $10,000 | $25,000 |
