Default Rules for certain cards

Is there a place I can go to find out the correct rules for certain cards?

2 cards that stick out are:

Really impressive title card. We are not sure how this is played. Do you 'equip' it or a one time use?

Same goes for Spiky Knees.

I am sure there are more cards but those two I know we had issues with.

What say you?

Those are equipable. Any card that would need to be discarded after use would say so. There is a section if the rules called "Other Treasures" where it says:

Quote:
Follow the instructions and then discard it, unless it has a persistent bonus like an Item
Italics were added by me.

Really Impressive Title is a Treasure card that provides a bonus, and there's a rule for that under page 5, which says:

So, based on the card's text and that rule, you can play it at any time and it doesn't get discarded. The Hireling in Munchkin and Munchkin 3 falls under this exact same rule.

As for Spiky Knees, I'm not sure what's at issue here (end of a long day and I'm not up for making assumptions), but if your question is whether it is a usable once only: It's an Item and it doesn't say usable once only, so it stays in play and provides a persistent bonus.
