- San Juan (2-4 players)

- 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.

As an alternative to the Dominion base game, you can also use the Dominion: Intrigue expansion as a standalone (or as a base for the other expansions). It provides a substantially different 'flavor', although the rules are the same.

A full collection of Dominion and all promos and expansions is thousands of cards plus special tiles and metal tokens, and even the base game alone is very cumbersome as a loose "stack of cards".
