You’re probably right, but a potential contrary take is that learning to emotionally cope with loss and frustration is part of the purpose of the game.
At an age young enough that you need a game without choices, the level of loss and frustration involved in drawing an early picture card when you’re otherwise close to winning is too large. Instead this should look like “it was close but I lost” or “I drew a card that only moved me forward a bit and not a lot” or “my opponent got a great picture card”.
