Just got Munchkin Deluxe for my family this week. We're having fun but really struggling with understanding some elements of the game which ends up impacting the fun factor.

What's the rule for displaying cards face-up to other players? We equivocate cards that are in play are those we're using, e.g. items plus race/class and any lingering curses. These we place face-up on the table. Is this right?

In our hand we keep everything else, e.g. unused curses, alternate races/classes, monsters, and items we can't use (b/c of race/class incompatibility, we have too many 2-handed items, etc.). My wife thinks all items (those with a money value) should be displayed on the table, face-up, even if they're not in play. Is she right?

Thanks in advance. I've got three 11-yr old boys coming over this afternoon to play Munchkin with my son so I'm hoping to get these questions answered.
