why this is giving syntax error?

Question

class Spam:
def __init__(self,name,lives):
self.name = name
self.lives = lives
def hit(self):
if self.lives > 0:
return self.lives = self.lives -1
elif self.lives == 0:
return 'Game Over'
play = Spam('Cyber',10)
print(play.hit())
this gives syntax error at line 7 pointing at = sign
