Since you decided to ignore any advice, what is the purpose of offering more? Break your code into functions as advised, and the error will be obvious.

You are using the wrong variable.

while True:
    again = input("play again? enter y to play again or n to quit")
    if again == ("n"):
        break

The outer game loop runs until "play" != "y", but here you use the variable "again".
