Do Detention cards count as Items when an encounter requires playing Items, and can a Detention trigger effects?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Detention is an Item, so playing it counts toward an encounter even though it has no effect itself. It can also trigger effects on other cards, such as Ally effects keyed to played Items.
