score does not pass into __str__ function

I understand score is defined in the Game class but it does not seem to be passing into my str function

game_str.py 
from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):

    def __str__(self):
        return 'Player 1:{}; Player 2:{}'.format(self.score)

Kevin, format needs two parameters:

class GameScore(Game):

    def __str__(self):
        return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(self.score[0], self.score[1])
