Calling Notes:

From authors:
"- Use duck for the oyster to represent dipping the baby Achilles in the pool.
- Sneak around the neighbor and surprise them. I think that, while the 1s cast, the 2s are supposed to look around distractedly, only re-focusing after the ones tap them on the shoulder. It was a kind of Trojan Horse thing: "Hello, I'm here" -- balance and swing. "
