Let us try the problem for allene... $H_{2} C = C = C H_{2}$ $H_2C=C=CH_2$ ...which is a real molecule that you could put in a bottle.....

Well, we got $4 \times C - H$ $4xxC-H$ $σ -bonds$ $sigma"-bonds"$ ...

...and $2 \times C - C$ $2xxC-C$ $σ -bonds$ $sigma"-bonds"$ ...

...and $2 \times C - C$ $2xxC-C$ $π -bonds$ $pi"-bonds"$ ...

So that is 8 bonds in total....
