This could be simplified to:

A player CAN, by announcement, cause a single player that owns 5 or more
stones to Wields the Gauntlet.

But the current wording isn't too bad, and "Notice the Gauntlet" is
a mildly amusing term I'd be sad to lose.

Also, I think we normally give economic wins some amount of a notice
period; I guess it's more important with something like coins or VPs,
where others can prevent the win by gaining more of the asset, but
even with stones, I can see some situations where it'd be nice:

- Someone could break the win with the Soul Stone
- Someone who doesn't want to win (thinks the stones they have are
  worth more than a win, maybe) can give away a stone

But that could be a separate proposal.
