Glitches: Full Duplex is an expansion for Glitches released in 2024 for 2 players, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Reiner Knizia and its main mechanics are Pattern Building.
The Full Duplex expansion introduces an additional card to the Glitches game, offering an extra scoring opportunity for the player who owns it at the end of the game. Full Duplex cards have distinct illustrations and are distributed separately, although their rules are identical. Rules: When a player places a card on the matrix and manages to score points in both the row and the column , he receives the “Full Duplex” card. This card is always transferred to the player who scores points in the row and the column simultaneously. At the end of the game, whoever holds the card earns 2 extra points.
Glitches: Full Duplex supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Glitches: Full Duplex is 10–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Glitches: Full Duplex for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Glitches: Full Duplex belongs to these categories: Card Game and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Pattern Building.

The credited designers of Glitches: Full Duplex are: Reiner Knizia. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Glitches: Full Duplex as an expansion for Glitches. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Glitches to use it. Check that your edition of Glitches is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
