I did initiate the var gameState 
public class MineBoard extends GWorld
{
    int gameState = 0;
and when i try to access it from a sub class call "Block" under Actor like this 
case 2:
                {
                    //two bombs
                    known=true;
                    setImage("Bomb[2].png");
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JInternalFrame(), "You Lose!","Mine Sweeper", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
                    GWorld.gameState = 2;
It keeps telling me that cannot find symbol - variable gameState Please help

For one thing, the variable is defined in the MineBoard class, not the GWorld class, so the variable gameState doesn't exist in the GWorld class. That's why you get "cannot find symbol". For another thing, the variable isn't static, but you are accessing it via a class name instead of via a reference. Try: 
((MineBoard) getWorld()).gameState = 2;
