Blocked Cards Board is the Acme release board that surfaces dependency blockers inline: blocked cards take a destructive tinted border, a Blocked chip, and a note naming the issue they wait on. Each column header counts its blocked items, and the board header totals blockers across all three stages, In Progress, Review, and Ready to Ship.
Columns are a typed array of cards, and any card can carry an optional blockedBy reference with an id and a reason. The blocked counts, both per column and the board total, are derived at render from that flag rather than hardcoded, so they track the data as cards move and blockers clear.
Reach for this block when dependencies are the thing slowing delivery, typically a release or team board where a lead needs to see what is stuck and why. Wire the blockedBy field to your issue links so the note names the real blocker instead of a generic flag.

Tip: name the blocker on the card, not just a red flag; a person should see what to chase without opening the issue behind it.
