Liechtenstein borders Switzerland but is too small for the Europe board to draw as a tap target, so it is not on the map above — it still deals in the capitals and flags games.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours, and 5 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 5 land borders are joint 6th-most in Europe — level with Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Belarus, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania and Slovakia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 5 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 Switzerland, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital
Bern
Capital Rush deals Switzerland 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 — Switzerland is the one that owns it.
