Shardboard is the 17th Shard's fork of Cardboard, which helps teams coordinate solving puzzlehunts. It is named after M-Bot, our beloved companion-slash-partner-in-spacetime. Shardboard manages and organizes puzzles, keeps track of team members, integrates with other solving tools, and more.
Most of this documentation has been maintained from the original Cardboard docs, with changes specific to the 17th Shard's hunt workflow as appropriate.
