Why this one is hard

4 neighbours, and 4 pairs of them border each other too.

Its 4 land borders are joint 7th-most in Europe — level with Albania, Armenia, Czechia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia and Slovenia. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Germany is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Europe board alongside Belgium, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital

Brussels

Capital Rush deals Belgium and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Europe board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.

The flag

Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Belgium is the one that owns it.
