So I'm obviously missing something, but I have no idea what. It gives you a tuple that gets pulled from Game, and then asks you to format string for GameScore with that tuple. I've done that, and have tried putting 'pass' before and after str block, and omitting it to no avail. What's missing (Bummer! Try again! error)
from game import Game
class GameScore(Game):
def __str__(self):
return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(self.score)

class GameScore(Game):
def __str__(self):
return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(self.score[0], self.score[1])
Or if you have taken the Python collections course, the code below may be of interest :)
class GameScore(Game):
def __str__(self):
return 'Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}'.format(*self.score)
