Description provided by Homo Ludens on YouTube:

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! A review copy was provided by the publisher. Support the show on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/homoludens1871

About People Power: Insurgency in the Philippines, 1981-1986, from BoardGameGeek:

People Power: Insurgency in the Philippines, 1983-1986 is volume XI of the highly-praised and popular COIN Series originally designed by Volko Ruhnke. This is one of only two games in the COIN series that feature three separate factions, instead of the customary four. The first faction is the Government, symbolized by the personal rule of Ferdinand Marcos, his wife Imelda, and his political cronies and military forces. Second are the Insurgents represented by the New People's Army (or NPA). The NPA sought a national uprising from both the urban and rural populace. Finally, the third faction are the non-violent Reformers, embodied by Aquino's widow, Corazon. She, along with her allies and supporters in that moment of tragedy, revived a platform of social justice and unrelenting momentum that would irrevocably change the Philippine political landscape immeasurably. For players new to the COIN Series, or for those looking to teach the the series to their friends, People Power will serve as an excellent introductory game. It was designed for simplicity and quick play, utilizing many of the basic COIN Series mechanics. The 22" x 17" map aids in introducing the game to a new player, as it presents only two types of terrain - Cities and Countrysides (where the latter amalgamates the rural settings of the island nation as well as much lightly-habitable terrain of jungles and mountains). Don't let the fast play and basic systems fool you, though. There are still plenty of strategic puzzles and inter-player backstabbing to be had! Also, People Power includes a new feature for the COIN Series - a Key Personality mini-hand procedure that represents the effectiveness of various generals and power brokers adding a new dimension to player actions and decisions.
