Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument. The player argument will be either 1 or 2. Increase that play

Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument. The player argument will be either 1 or 2. Increase that player's value in self.current_score by 1. You'll need to adjust the index (i.e. player = 1 means self.current_score[0] needs to increase).

game.py 
class Game:

    def __init__(self):
        self.current_score = [0, 0]

    def score(player):
        self.current_score +=1

You're pretty close! All you have to do is take a queue from the Challenge task description where it says player = 1 means self.current_score[0] needs to increase and make sure you pass in the self argument for score() as well. That leaves you with something that looks a bit like this

def score(self, player):
        self.current_score[player-1] += 1        # we have to subtract 1 from the player value 
                                                 # since indices are zero-based in Python.

and you should be good :)
