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? :)

Azul is better with 2-3 players than at 4.

Others that play well with 2 & 3 players: Dominion Race for the Galaxy Castles of Burgundy

I have Dominion and RftG. I may just have to get back into them. Thank you.

2 players: 7 Wonders Duel, Hive, Schotten Totten, Sobek: 2 Players, Cribbage.

4 players, also great for 2 and 3 players: Arboretum, Azul, Calico, Gizmos, Happy Little Dinosaurs (good for younger kids), Photosynthesis, Shifting Stones, Sprawlopolis, That's Pretty Clever!, War Chest.

My Girlfriend and I play a lot of 2 player games. 7 Wonders Duel and Schotten Totten are our personal favorites. Calico and Arboretum are also a lot of fun.
