Equipped vs in play vs in your hand
A friend and I were disputing what the differences were between equipped, in play, and in your hand.
I argued that equipped meant that an item was on the table, and facing straight, and that in play meant that a card/item was on the table but turned sideways to be used/switched in whenever you want (but not in combat). These items are "carried" but not "equipped." In your hand meant that it was just in your hand, and not in play. He argued that equipped meant that a card was on the table, and that in play meant any card on the table or in your hand. I am pretty sure that I am right, but I wanted to get an official ruling, mostly for "in your face" purposes, but also to put the issue to rest, lol. |

Re: Equipped vs in play vs in your hand
A card is "in play" if it is on the table. A permanent Item (and only a permanent Item) is "equipped" if if is currently giving you its effects -- as you said, meaning it's turned upright. One-shot Items may never be equipped.
Cards in your hand are not in play. They may only be targeted by Curses or Bad Stuff that specifically mention the cards in your hand. So you're almost correct. The only thing you got wrong is that equipped Items are also in play.

Re: Equipped vs in play vs in your hand
if a card says "item" does it affect only cards in front of you? or you can use/discard cards which are items from your hand?
like discard cards = hand or in play discard item = only in play do i get it right? |

Re: Equipped vs in play vs in your hand
Unless a card specifically talks about cards in your hand, it only means the cards you have in play. This includes Items.
