Anyone else have a strategy suggestion?

thanks for your feedback, but can you explain what you mean by trade it for a small item? Do you mean turn it sideways and swap it for a non big item for example?

He means trade it to another player. Or I assume he does, since that would work to get rid of it and allow you to play another Big item. Turning it sideways wouldn't let you play another Big item, since you can only carry one Big item, and cards turned sideways are still carried.

You could also trade the one on the table for nothing, provided the recipient is willing and has no Big Item of his own already. It can also be used to power most abilities that require discards (unless the ability says the discard must be from your hand). Cursing yourself with a Curse that allows you to choose that Item to be lost is another useful tactic if you have the right card.

Important things to remember.

1: You cannot discard something you have in play "just to get rid of it".
It can only be discarded as part of another effect that says "discard a card/item". Don't play a Big item if you're not sure you really want it, because it can be a pain to get rid of when a GOOD big item comes along later.

2: You can sell it for a level, but you CANNOT "sell" items that aren't enough to get a level. If you have a big rock with No Value, you can't "sell" it by itself. Any time you do the "Sell" action, you have to sell at least 1000 gold worth of stuff. Now, you CAN include the "No Value" rock along with things that are worth 1000 to get rid of it.

3: If you have a Curse! Lose A Big Item... you can totally play that on yourself.
