You're missing your main. The code is outside of a function and is considered by the compiler to be either a declaration of variables, class, structs or other such commands.
In C++, you should use the string header. Write #include <string> at the top of your file. When you declare a variable, the type is string , and it's in the std namespace, so its full name is std::string .
Your using declaration is in game.cpp, not game.h where you actually declare string variables. You intended to put using namespace std; into the header, above the lines that use string, which would let those lines find the string type defined in the std namespace.
As others have pointed out, this is not good practice in headers -- everyone who includes that header will also involuntarily hit the using line and import std into their namespace; the right solution is to change those lines to use std::string instead
