Map Collection Vol. 7: Japan & Italy vs USA 1910
Short answer: buy Map Collection Vol. 7: Japan & Italy first. Japan & Italy is the map pack I'd start with. Reviewers call it a fan favorite and a perfect place to start.
Pick USA 1910 first instead if this sounds more like your table: USA 1910 adds more tickets and bigger cards to the original game. It only works with the original USA box, not Europe.
