Noticed something fun in the Sol system tonight...
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 - IceIt doesn't distinguish it as a dwarf planet and no other dwarf planets (Ceres, Eris) are listed.
Pluto was made a dwarf planet again a few years ago.
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.
