Tic Tac Toe Turn change with pygame

So I have this code to the main loop for the game , everything seems to go as intended except turn change, i am not sure what is the problem i have been stuck in this for 2 days and can't figure it out here is the link to the full script in case anyone want to check if i did something wrong in the functions itself https://github.com/AmrBinBashir/Tic-Tac-Toe-Pygame:

run = True
while run:
    draw_board_onetime(board_boxes, win)
    make_board(board_boxes)
    board = [" "] * 10
    game_on = True
    while game_on:

        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                sys.exit()

            if event.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION:
                pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                for box in board_boxes:
                    if box.is_hover(pos):
                        box.hovered = True
                        box.draw(win)
                    else:
                        box.hovered = False
                        box.draw(win)
            turn = "player1"
            if turn == "player1":
                if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                    pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                    for i in range(1, 10):
                        if board_boxes[i].is_hover(pos):
                            board_boxes[i].text = x_marker
                            board[i] = x_marker
                            print(board)
                            if check_win(board, x_marker):
                                game_on = False  # WIN
                            else:
                                if full_board_check(board):
                                    game_on = False  # TIE
                                else:
                                    turn = "player2"
            else:
                if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                    pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                    for i in range(1, 10):
                        if board_boxes[i].is_hover(pos):
                            board_boxes[i].text = o_marker
                            board[i] = o_marker
                            print(board)
                            if check_win(board, o_marker):
                                game_on = False  # WIN
                            else:
                                if full_board_check(board):
                                    game_on = False  # TIE
                                else:
                                    turn = "player1"

        pygame.display.update()
    sys.exit()
sys.exit()

The solution if anyone sees this in the feature, simply moving the turn variable outside of the game_on loop so it cannot be overridden every loop

run = True
while run:
    draw_board_onetime(board_boxes, win)
    make_board(board_boxes)
    board = [" "] * 10
    game_on = True
    turn = 'player1'
    while game_on:

        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                sys.exit()

            if event.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION:
                pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                for box in board_boxes:
                    if box.is_hover(pos):
                        box.hovered = True
                        box.draw(win)
                    else:
                        box.hovered = False
                        box.draw(win)

            if turn == "player1":
                if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                    pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                    for i in range(1, 10):
                        if board_boxes[i].is_hover(pos):
                            board_boxes[i].text = x_marker
                            board[i] = x_marker
                            print(board)
                            if check_win(board, x_marker):
                                game_on = False  # WIN
                            else:
                                if full_board_check(board):
                                    game_on = False  # TIE
                                else:
                                    turn = "player2"
            else:
                if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                    pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                    for i in range(1, 10):
                        if board_boxes[i].is_hover(pos):
                            board_boxes[i].text = o_marker
                            board[i] = o_marker
                            print(board)
                            if check_win(board, o_marker):
                                game_on = False  # WIN
                            else:
                                if full_board_check(board):
                                    game_on = False  # TIE
                                else:
                                    turn = "player1"

        pygame.display.update()
    sys.exit()
sys.exit()

I am not entirely sure about your code (haven't executed it myself) but I'm pretty sure overriding

turn = "player1"
#will always slip into:
        if turn == "player1":

Move setting "player1" somewhere else in your code, e.g. a global variable for testing. Right now it seems that even if you set it to "player2" it will be overwritten anyway in the next run.

Little extra bit, kind advice: Strings don't make good comparators. Unless you enjoy the readability, think about using booleans or at least integers for that matter. You will learn later on how they are much more versatile and less prone to errors (such as simple typos or accidental capitalisation).

Booleans for example can easily be flipped like player = not player (switching back and forth between True for P1 and False for P2).

Integers can easily be incremented like player_id += 1 (which starts becoming handy for a board game with 3 players or more).
