This will be elaborated upon in the upcoming FAQ revision, currently scheduled for mid- to late May (we're tearing it down and starting over, pretty much).

Does 'In Play' include items in a players belt (i.e. any face-up item card in front of them equipped or not)? Also, if it is meant to make the difference between winning or losing, why could you not use it to take a pollymorph or magic lamp to eliminate one monster in a fight with multiple monsters (when eliminating that one makes the difference between winning and losing)?

Also, thanks for the reply.
