San Marino and Vatican City border Italy 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
6 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 6 land borders are 5th-most in Europe. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Austria and France are joint most connected of them, with 8 land borders each. All of them deal on the Europe board alongside Italy, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital
Rome
Capital Rush deals Italy 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 — Italy is the one that owns it.
