I'm a digital nomad. I'd like something a bit more exciting than simple card or dice games, but space is at a bit of a premium. Any recommendations for games that have a lot of depth (and thus can be played over and over), are very quick to pick up the basics (so we can teach others), and are physically tiny (or can be)?

1. Jaipur: 2 Players only, acquire different goods to trade in the market.
2. Coup: Multiplayer, lots of bluffing
3. Monopoly Deal: Simple, fast paced game (with little resemblance to Monopoly)

Takes about 5 minutes to explain and plays in 30 min or so (After the first game). It has a nice mix of random/strategy, etc.
Edit: The box is way bigger than the contents, so a custom foam solution seems to be popular with some people.

It's best played with a set of Icehouse pieces, which pack pretty small and can be used for a whole bunch of other games too. You don't need Icehouse pieces, though, you can also play Zendo with coins, matchsticks, etc.

- Haggis (2-3)
- Dominion (2-4 players, box is nice but you can just have a stack of cards)
All the other suggestions are good, but it's nice to have flexibility with player size.

Zendo is terrific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendo_(game) One player thinks of a secret rule, and the others have to guess the rule by building little sculptures.
