This commend wasn't about taking the game seriously, it was in response to Psycho's comment: "You can't expect everyone to be a good sport or to take losing well."

I've got a kid who's 6. He's a pretty good kid, but if he plays a game and loses, sometimes he gets upset and cries. He hasn't learned to be a good sport yet. I don't expect that he should be a good sport about losing at only 6 years old, and I think a few more more years will pass before he has gradually learned to be a gracious loser (and winner).

I'd expect anyone old enough to be playing dominions would be mature enough to be a good sport.
