What kind of game is Kortzale Solitaires?
Kortzale is a notebook of small single-player games rather than card solitaire in the usual sense. Each one is built around one sharp decision, and the rules do the teaching. The name comes from the croze, the groove inside a barrel's staves that seats the head.
