Why this one is hard
14 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 14 land borders are most in Europe. Of the 91 possible pairings among them, 13 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. China is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. 11 of them deal on the Europe board alongside Russia — China, Mongolia and North Korea are dealt on the Asia board instead. The world board is the one where all 14 meet.

Capital Rush deals Russia 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.
