You have a other thread about the same here.
When no Path is give to test.txt the python script must be in same folder as test.txt.

foo\
  |-- test.text --> hello world
  |-- my_script.py

# my_script.py
game = open("test.txt", "r")
gameboard = game.read()
game.close()
print(gameboard)

Output:
hello world

Give Path to a other folder.

# my_script.py
game = open("C:/bar/test2.txt", "r")
gameboard = game.read()
game.close()
print(gameboard)

Output:
I am test2 in folder bar
