Wingspan European Expansion vs Wingspan Asia
Short answer: buy Wingspan European Expansion first. More birds with no new rules. IGN and Fjord Labs both say get Oceania first, then add this for variety.
Pick Wingspan Asia first instead if this sounds more like your table: Best if you mostly play with two, since it works on its own. Reviewers call the 6-7 player Flock mode messy.
