Any items (cards with a Gold Piece value, including ones that say "No Value") CAN be played face up on the table, even if you can't currently use them.

If you cannot currently use an item that you have played to the table (or simply choose not to for some reason) you indicate this by turning the card sideways. Those cards are still "in play", though.

You don't HAVE to play them to the table, but often you will want to, just to free up space in your hand and avoid giving Charity.

The only limitation on what items you can play to the table is that you may not have more than one Big item at a time (whether or not you are using it doesn't matter, you can only carry one).
