print was a statement in python 2.x, it is now a function so you need
parenthesis:
Game Over

Troll? It looked like a sincere question to me.

In python version 3, print was changed into a function.

Use this and it will work:

print("Game Over")

but one that page 1 of the documentation would answer.

So point the asker to the documentation, don't just dismiss them as a troll.

No, none what so ever. Perhaps you are the first person in the world to
have come across this error. If you ever solve it, please write up the
solution and put it on a blog or a website somewhere so that if it ever
happens again, googling for "python print SyntaxError" will return a
useful result.

Tongue-firmly-in-cheek-ly y'rs,

Tongue-firmly-in-cheek-ly y'rs,

I think OP rather gave the game away with the subject line.
