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…

    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.
