This is your problem:
     if play_again == ("Y") or ("y") or ("Yes") or ("yes") or ("YES"):

Which is interpreted as (note the extra parens):
     if (play_again == ("Y")) or ("y") or ("Yes") or ("yes") or ("YES"):

What you want is:
     if play_again in ("Y","y","Yes","yes","YES"):
Or better yet:
     if play_again.upper() in ('Y','YES'):
