Wingspan Oceania Expansion vs Wingspan Asia
Short answer: buy Wingspan Oceania Expansion first. The one most reviewers say to get first. The new mats and nectar change the game more than any other box.
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.
