<p>In Cartographers, what would score if your 1st and 2nd Village clusters are the same size? There's also a 3rd village cluster at a different size. </p>

<p>The card states:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Earn two reputation stars for each village space in the second largest cluster of village spaces.</p>

If you have three clusters A:8. B:8 and C:3, the size of the second largest cluster is "B", and the second largest cluster size is 3. The former wording is used here.
