Indiana Jones and the Temple of Food

As your people settle down and start farming, they've noticed brown lumpy root vegetables scattered around everywhere. These starchy plants, named by your top minds as "potatoes", are unevenly distributed throughout the land – ancient ruins of long-dead cities, the last remnants of a once proud empire, seem to be filled with the things, while the surrounding countrysides sport such potatoes in significantly fewer quantities. Your people could surely benefit from these new food sources, but can you trust something primarily found in the ancient tombs of a doomed nation?

• Option 1: Free food, you say? Let's raid these lost ruins for all they're worth, and give ourselves a head start over our stinky neighbours!

• Option 2: There's no such thing as a free lunch. These so-called potatoes must be harbingers of a deadly curse, or something. Why else would these dead cities be full of them?

• Option 3: We could just cultivate the smaller numbers of potatoes found outside of the ruins. Sure, the bounty won't be as vast, but at least we'll be avoiding any spooky curses, right?

• Option 4: No potato, no potato! You're the potato!
