Playing "Exploding Kittens" with a standard deck of cards instead of using original "Exploding Kittens" deck. Requires 2 decks for full emulation, but with 4 or less players you can use a single deck.
2-6 = pair-able cards (cards without instructions)
7 = skip
8 = see the future (1 extra "8" card is needed from 2nd deck for accurate emulation)
9 = nope
10 = shuffle the deck
Jack = attack
Queen = ask for favor
King = exploding kitten
Ace = diffuse (2 Ace cards from 2nd deck are required for more than 4 players)
Best if played by people who are familiar with "Exploding Kittens" rules.

Camper 1: Lets play "Exploding Kittens"
Camper 2: Crap, I left my deck at home. I only have regular cards
Camper 3: We can play Exploding Kings - use regular cards and use "Exploding Kittens" rules.
