Countries that border Sudan
7 land neighbours: the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya and South Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
7 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 7 land borders are joint 3rd-most in Africa — level with Algeria, Mali, Niger and Zambia. Of the 21 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Libya and South Sudan are joint most connected of them, with 6 land borders each. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Sudan, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

Khartoum
Capital Rush deals Sudan 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.
