Good games for 2 to 3? (self.tabletop)

I'm looking for games which are for exactly 2 or 3 players. My wife, daughter and I played Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries yesterday, and it was so cool that the game was truly balanced around that exact number of players. Some combination of 2 or 3 tends to be who sits down at our table, and games that are best for 4 or 5 tend to not really work wonderfully with 2 or 3. Any suggestions? :)

I've played a lot of Wingspan and Agricola, and I think both work better as 2 or 3 player. I feel like most medium-heavy games where you have to wait for your turn are going to be better with 2-3 players so they don't get too slow. I love Wingspan, but I played my first 4-player game last week and it was honestly a bit painful.
