Actiles and Actiles: Loops most certainly fit the format, as will most other games from the 4 tiles contest:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/41090
If you supply two 20-sided dice (c. 9g each if I recall correctly) to keep score in the base game, that leaves 8.5g for each tile, which should mean you can make them about 2 inches square... a good size.
Actiles Loops doesn't need dice, so the tiles can be bigger still.
The two games could be published as different items, or as a single set, if you can print double sided at this scale.

Boloko is a Backgammon-style game wrapped to fit in a 5x5 grid, but with rolls of 1 allowing pieces to jump over the wall. This adds a non-linear element and makes 1 the most powerful roll.
Board: 23g
Rules: 2g
Discs: 20 x 1g = 20g

Board Game: Cave

A scary mini-wargame for two players.
Two clever necromancers fight one another to conquest the Cave. They possess armies consisting of skeletons, zombies and black knights. But the bewitched place is not going to surrender their treasures easily. Due to the cavern’s sorcery, neither necromancer is able to distinguish his own soldiers: all of them look the same. So if he intends to win the battle, he will have to do it almost blind...
A player wins when he gets rid of all his opponent’s pieces, keeping at least one of his pieces on the board. If the game ends with all the pieces removed, the result is a draw.
Rules uploaded. Enjoy!

In High Wire Act, players are leaders of rival bands of tightrope walkers in a circus. Each player is trying to move their three tightrope walkers from one side of the circus tent to the other before their opponent does. Each player’s tight rope walkers start at opposite sides of the tent, but only one player’s team will make it to the other side first and have the glory of being the best circus performers in the land!
Board: 23 Grams
Rules: 1.5 Grams
Dice: 5 x 3.5 Grams = 17.5 Grams

Enjoy, and thank you Nestor!

I want to add the "Who's your daddy?" re-theme of the One-Time Path dice game.
The re-theme makes the game more suitable for children and uses the same mechanics of the original game but switches the objective (the loosing conditions is now the winning condition but the result is pretty much the same).
The Game: You and your opponent are taking care of a puppy. Both disagree in how many bones the puppy needs in order to be healthy. One player is too much frugal and the other is too much generous.
Both agree in how many bones the puppy needs every turn. If you (together with your opponent) guess how many bones the puppy wants, it will remain in the same place. Otherwise the puppy will make an step towards the frugal player player (if it want less bones) or towards the generous player (if it wants more).
The game ends when the puppy reach one of the players (the winner).
Read the complete rules of One-Time Path to understand better the mechanics of the game.
Components:
12 Bones = 16,2 g (12 x1,5cm x 3cm x 0,3g/cm² approx)
1 Puppy = 6,0 g (1 x 2cm x 3cm x 1g/cm² approx)
1 Board game = 23,0 g
1 Dice = 3,5 g
1 Rules = 2,0 g
Total = 50,7 g

Miss Roberts, a neat and diligent librarian, has two little followers: Harry y Tiffany. The kids are always walking around her, pleading to be allowed to be her assistants.
The woman has to pick the most efficient kid for the job so she resolves to state a simple but instructive challenge; one that makes usual library issues arise. The one who proves to be the cleverest and luckiest player in the game will get the job.
Through alternate dice rolls, and by applying their results, the players will try to fill two shelves with five books each on the same subject (same colour). The first to accomplish this goal wins the game.
(Image: The numbers on the left appear just for clarity's sake. They aren't included in the 5x5 board).
Board: 23 g
Rules: 1.5 g
Pieces: 25 x 0.3 g = 7.5 g

Board Game: Swish

Swish is a boardless strategy/puzzle game for 2-4 players.
Players each control a fish, made up of interlocking swishbones. Players must compete to build the longest fish by eating swishbones; however, a fish cannot contain two adjacent swishbones of the same colour so careful route planning is required. There are also specialised attack and defense pieces for swish-to-swish combat.
Components:
- rules 1.5g
- 40 swishbones. They should weigh comfortably under 50g total at a scale of 35mm x 30mm, which is a good size. It's hard to give exact figures, since the tiles are oddly shaped, but there is no text, so they can be scaled as necessary.
Edit: rules are up, removed link to external site.
Edit: added more detail, since this is a popularity contest.
