A Conspiracy against Tragedy

The Monkey hesitates… then nods. […]

You reveal first. […] For a moment, he thinks that he has won.

The Monkey frowns, and looks back to the cards. […] Your Tragedy Procedure reigns supreme. He has lost. And you – you have won the Marvellous.

Description summary:
You play the Tragedy Procedure, a "solid" hand. The Monkey plays Four Crowns. Ordinarily you would win, but the Monkey has also played a full Conspiracy of Rats (knave, queen, king, and ace). The Conspiracy undoes the Procedure and therefore the Monkey's Crowns would win... except that you also played a Treachery of Sevens, which means sevens beat aces and prevents his Conspiracy from undoing your Procedure.

Man, the Marvellous is complicated.
