Hit up the Sol system and check the planets…

They skip over Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but there on the outer edge…

Pluto is a planet again!

If you have a hard time remembering where the asteroid belt is, there is also a mnemnonic for that…

    So is it actually type planet in the game? Or type dwarf planet?

      Going in and looking now…

      Types for each:

      Mercury - Barren
      Venus - Rock
      Earth - Rock
      Mars - Rock
      Jupiter - Gas Giant
      Saturn - Gas Giant
      Uranus - Ice Giant
      Neptune - Ice Giant
      Pluto - Ice

      It doesn’t distinguish it as a dwarf planet and no other dwarf planets (Ceres, Eris) are listed.

      It’s been classed as a dwarf planet since the IAU defined what a planet was in 2006. Its status has not changed since.

        We still have an OG Solar Quest (monopoly in space, sort of. It’s got some actual strategy,) that has plutonas a planet. I was pissed when the new board removed it.

        Incidentally, pretty sure the loot-trash board games are a reference to it.

      That’s the thing though, the other dwarf planets aren’t listed, Pluto is, and it has an orbit trajectory like the other planets.
