Get ready for to another Pyjama Stream on Homo Ludens! This week, we're playing 'People Power: Insurgency in the Philippines, 1983-1986', designed by Kenneth Tee, the latest release from GMT Games. As we navigate through a pivotal chapter in Philippine history, make sure you're cozy in your pyjamas and ready to join the battle from the comfort of your own home!
'People Power' adds a few cool twists to the acclaimed COIN series, designed by Volko Ruhnke, as one of only two games in the series featuring three factions instead of the usual four. In this fascinating game, you'll step into the shoes of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, lead the New People’s Army (NPA), or rally the Reformers under the leadership of Corazon Aquino. With each decision, you'll be shaping the future of the Philippine political landscape.
Whether you're a veteran of the COIN Series or a fresh face looking for an introduction, 'People Power' is a fantastic starting point with its straightforward mechanics and speedy gameplay. Don't let the simplicity fool you, though! Despite its beginner-friendly design, it's packed full of strategic depth and opportunities for cunning plays.
This time, we're tackling cities, countrysides, and even a unique Key Personality mini-hand procedure that brings the influence of historical figures to the forefront. So, join us for a cup of coffee (or tea), a playful chat about what's up in the world of historical boardgaming, and a game that's sure to keep us on our toes. Whether you're here for the strategy or the pyjamas, we're excited to have you on board!
