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, South Sudan, Chad and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Tanzania is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Mozambique, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

The capital

Maputo

Capital Rush deals Mozambique 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.

The flag

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