2 player game now, 1 player controls 3 humans

NOTES

The game is quick, with an average match lasting for 15-20 minutesT

Since one player controls all 3 humans, the waiting time has reduced
-
The number of turns needs to be balanced more to cause fun dynamics to happen more often

Players chaining “Call” by switching between different humans in the right order
-
Players also chained the “Calls” of 2 humans in the right order with “Touch” of the 3rd human to trap and pet the cat
