Why is my string formatting not working on this exercise?

my code won't pass for some reason.

game_str.py 
from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):
    def __str__(self):
        return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(self.score)

There are two different options to pass a tuple to the string formatting method:

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

Or:

class GameScore(Game):
    def __str__(self):
        return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(*self.score)
