About the game
Glitches: Full Duplex is the expansion that takes the already fun card-based pattern‑building game to an extra level of competition. The idea is simple: when a player manages to score in both a row and a column while placing a card on the grid, they receive a ‘Full Duplex’ card. This card has a unique illustration and, at the end of the game, whoever holds it earns 2 extra points.

The game continues with the same mechanic of placing cards in rows and columns to create scoring patterns. The expansion does not alter the base rules, it just adds the new card as a bonus. This keeps the learning curve low while adding an extra strategic element: who will try to secure the double score and who will try to stop the opponent.

Components remain the same as the base game: colorful cards, a small board, and score tokens. The expansion adds only one card, so the production cost is minimal and the experience stays light and quick – ideal for 10‑20 minute sessions.

For those who love the logic of combining and optimizing positions, Full Duplex offers an extra challenge without complicating the fun. If you enjoy fast card games with an energetic pace and a techy sense of humor, this expansion will delight you.

In short, the expansion keeps the charm of the base game, adds a 2‑point bonus that can turn the game, and requires no rule changes. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a light but slightly more tense and strategic experience.
