# Release: N-Of-A-Kind

• Excessive Branching says "-2 for each two-of-a-kind"

If I have `2 of Birds`, `2 of Doors` and `2 of Fruits` (total: 3 cards):

• Is that a 3-of-a-kind, and thus not scored?
• Is that a 2-of-a-kind (ignoring the excess 2 of Fruits) and thus scored as -2?

Similar question, let's say, for some reason, I have 5x copies of `2 of Birds`

• Is that a five-of-a-kind, and not scored?
• Is that 2x two-of-a-kind, and thus scored at -4?

I mean 2x 2 of fruits, 2x 2 of birds, and 1x 2 of doors. Will edit.

No, re-reading I mean I have 3 cards, one each of the 2-ranks.

according to cribbage scoring rules it's three separate 2 of a kinds.

so i'd go with that.
