Revision to Robin Hood Stone based on comments on discord (it could easily
be used between any group of 3 until the end of time if they just passed
coins around)

Hot Potato Stone: You must transfer this stone to a player of your choice
who has never owned this stone since the last time agora has owned it. Then
the original wielder gains 8 boatloads of coins.
SPECIAL RULE: This stone never escapes as long as at least three players
have owned it in the last Agoran month

This was trigon's idea, I believe, thanks to em.

The "less coins" restriction is way too easy to bypass.  Also, three 
players could easily conspire to keep control of it.
