I can not find it..
It was retired when the Flash player was discontinued. It needed flash to function. And flash doesn't really exist anymore.
I wish I had the time to fix/alter the images so it could work. Regardless, it would not look the same. I believe a lot of it had to do with making the neutral color the same as the board so the stones were not visible until they were played. It never worked with the Native player and i was OK with that. I don't know that it was one of my 'best' games, but I thought the design was pretty cool with all the board image variations.
I dearly miss Go-Geared along with a few other maps that flash did in.
I hope it, and some others (like unique personas ravenloft) come back eventually.
@M57, I think your go-geared board mechanics was genius.
Looks like I've figured out how to get Go-Geared working in the Native Player! I'm almost embarrassed to say that it involves a not so difficult fix that involved adding a neutral image. A fortuitous bonus is I found that by matching that neutral image color to the neutral text color, the look of the board is much cleaner looking. I'd really like to avoid having to put it out there as.a New board because it would be starting fresh with no stats, reviews etc, so I've reached out to Tom to see if it can be re-loaded into the site.
Here are a few Dev games if anyone wants a preview..

Also, if you're at all interested in helping me out with the Minesweeper scenario I'm altering, see the thread related to it in the Board Designer's Chat section of the forums, or just give me a PM. I have a few options I'm considering and would appreciate your opinions.
Sweet! I'm glad you figured that out. I assumed it was something simple, but finding which simple thing it is can be tricky.

If you bring it out as a new board we can still round up some reviews and plays and tournaments :)

No question. It's more of a preference. If I start a new board, the CPs for the original will still be around and there will soon be two sets of CPs for the same board, which doesn't seem very equitable. I PM'd tom but haven't heard back from him. I should probably try e-mail.
I don't mind the delay. I'm still considering whether or not (and how) to break out certain scenarios into a separate board, because gameplay between the 1d and 8d scenarios is so different.

Haha, do whatever you feel is best - I don't think the CPs matter when we could all be playing the game!
Go-Geared is up and running ..and after a fix by Tom is now properly showing up on the Boards search page.
Thanks Tom!
This is such great news!!
