I assume there was a redesign for the move from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 - but it certainly does not seem well thought-out. I suppose the workaround is to install one of the many other sudoku games available in the Ubuntu repositories!

Since 3x3 squares are relevant to game play, there is typically a darker border around those squares as compared to the individual squares. The only theme where this border is in fact darker is high contrast inverse. With the high contrast them there is no border at all, even around the individual squares. With most others, (Adwaita, Ambiance) there is no difference in the thickness of the individual and 3x3 borders. The game should display correctly regardless of theme.
