Countries that border Chad
6 land neighbours: Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Libya, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
6 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 6 land borders are joint 4th-most in Africa — level with Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guinea, Libya, Mozambique, South Sudan and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Niger and Sudan are joint most connected of them, with 7 land borders each. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Chad, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

The capital
N’Djamena
Capital Rush deals Chad and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Africa board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.
