Jaipur this two player trading game is a delight. It's small and fits in a very travelable box. The Biggest issue is sorting the tokens on whatever table you're using but it's a small matter
Devastation of the Indines (or any battleCON game) thesea re head to head fighting games like Street Fighter or Moral Kombat. Devastation comes with a host of characters (30?). And the box is a HUGE. But that's because it comes with a) so many characters and b) somany extras. Variations on how top lay, single player modes, scenario modes. It's a jam packed game. But for travel? Esp for newbies? You can get away with picking 4-6 of the tier 1 fighters (They're separated into tiers). Maybe some spindown dice.. but honestly there's an app for that. And you might want to print out the playing field (7 hexes in a row)
Hanabi the fireworks game works well enough with two players. It's still challenging and fun
Fuse - is you have the space this face paced dice game is a great hotel game. Less good on trains and airports because you'll be handling dice.
Binary Homeworlds on the other hand is a much more flexible game in terms of table space.

Would love to see a simple life counter tool.
Something like the Magic Life Counter app, but web based, and optimized for mobile (reduce battery drain by excluding trackers, ads, etc.).
Nice idea, but a hard compromise over separate tools
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snowleopardgames.lifetotal is the gold standard for Magic style life counters. The only way it would be better would be; more options for starting life, and 4 player mode.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.keepscore is already an excellent generic score keeper that supports multiple players
This ones been pretty good for a free one! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snowleopardgames.lifetotal
Edit, although checking your comments going up 3k life might take a while!
