Adviserati is a game invented by the Grey Area Goons which places the various advisers attending Winter Camp in a contest to control the event. The players take turns attempting to control various smaller elements of Winter Camp, like the Winter Camp Virgins, the Oatley Children, and Beaver Creek Cabin. The various groups have alignments, indicating broad political views. The ten alignments are: Slothful/Diligent, Adult/Youth, Fun/Dull, Generous/Cheap, Athletic, and Fanatic. Each player takes the role of one of the advisers, and each adviser has his own set of victory conditions which reveal a great deal about the goon mind set. There were also additional cards like Osvath Accounting System and New Girlfriend that had special effects based on real life activities. The game was based on an SJ Games product called Illuminati and eventually had its own derivative, Lodgerati, in which Lodge advisers strove to control the Mi Gi Si O Paw Gan Lodge. Although Illuminati has been reborn as a collectible card game, no update to the original Adviserati is planned. Adviserati later saw the Winter Camp Future Society card stripped from the box and added to the Autograph Project book with Steve Jackson (designer and publisher of Illuminati) having autographed it. Steve also turned out to be an Eagle Scout himself.(SD)
