King, Queen, Bobby & Robber: play the indoor chit game online

Four players each draw a folded paper chit. Each chit hides one role: King, Queen, Bobby, Robber. The Bobby reveals their chit. Nobody else says who they are: everyone keeps a straight face. The Bobby studies the faces and accuses one player of being the Robber. Everyone opens their chit and scores: Everyone gives an alibi, then the Bobby makes an arrest. A wrong arrest costs the Bobby 200 and the Robber gets away with 1000. Play 3, 5, 7, 10 or 20 rounds. The highest total wins.
