But the fun doesn't stop there. Solitaire Stories introduces a brand new story, A Giant Longing, along with three limited-time events to keep you entertained all summer long. Meanwhile, Bloons TD Battles 2+ challenges you on a new map called Time’s Up, where the path changes every round, requiring you to plan your every move strategically.
