There are some tiny tin-box style games, often not very deep but maybe there is something out there worth traveling around with?

Our family usually packs Sushi Go and No Thanks when traveling
Machi Koro is super simple to travel with. Just rubber band the cards and throw the dice and money tokens in a bag and there you go.
Jaipur is similar that way.
Anything by Oink Games.
Star Realms is a solid little 2 player deck builder game! The base game is just a deck of cards and you dont need much room to play, so it’s a great portable game.
Took me too long to find this. In addition, the base game is plenty good, and it’s not expensive. I feel like getting a second set as a stand alone “sacrificial set”, just to bring around, unsleeved.
Elfer raus! / Domino (the card game) is pretty fun and easy to learn. It’s usually sold in a small-form box; i.e. about the size of a Schmidt tin-game.
Sprawlopolis is very light weight and offers a lot of replayability.
We have laminated (I believe that is the english word) clever, qwixx, knaster and knister so that we can bring 1 set of dice and play those all.
We really like regicide, which is just 1 pack of cards.
Lastly you have some (card)games with a small footprint, such as The Crew, or Cahoots, or Pickomino.
Splendor. I 3d-printed a small case for it so that it will easily fit in a bag or backpack. It’s one of our favorites.
Oh cool! Is this for the full game or the duel? Do you have any pics of the case?
This is for the full game. I’ve considered printing something similar for the Cities expansion.
I found the STL here
I don’t have a pic handy with the contents shown, but these old pics show the scale
Love Letter
The city (London, NY, Sf etc) based ticket to ride games are great. You can play in about 20 mins. I’ve played it in airports, poolside at the air bnb, and hotel rooms. I’m actually traveling with it this weekend lol
Hive Pocket goes on every vacation with me; its portable, indestructible, and can be played anywhere. Will also usually bring: Love Letter, Tides, SpaceShipped, and a deck of cards for Regicide/Scoundrel/Loot-The-Loop/etc. Will sometimes try to bring Bang! The Dice Game, Anomia, or Happy Salmon if there’s a potential for party games being played.
Handsome (button shy) and Arboretum tend to be family travel faves.
(edit: Scout is a new addition to the travel games)

Bananagrams! It’s good for any age, I like it especially at things like family reunions
Deep Sea Adventure
Hidden Leaders has a fairly large box, but there’s not all that much to bring. The cards and 2 tokens fit into a medium sized ziplock bag.
The board is slightly more difficult, but there’s a copy of it printed into the bank of 5 explanatory cards, although I believe those were part of the Kickstarter exclusives.
