I got First Martians for my birthday. It's made by a Polish company called Portal Games. In it, you play one of the astronauts on the first manned mission to Mars. Unsurprisingly for an indie game, it has super complex rules and approximately 5 billion different tiles and card decks. Uniquely, however, it uses a companion app which acts as the mission computer, which is a pretty cool idea. I was surprised to find that you don't need to create an account with the game company to use it, which is quite refreshing. Hopefully it's fun and the hybrid format works well.
