Andorra and Monaco border France but are too small for the Europe board to draw as a tap target, so they are not on the map above — they still deal in the capitals and flags games.
Why this one is hard
8 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 8 land borders are joint 3rd-most in Europe — level with Austria, Serbia and Turkey. Of the 28 possible pairings among them, 6 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 France, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital
Paris
Capital Rush deals France 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 — France is the one that owns it.
