Can you provide more detail regarding the workflow? Do you need updates going only from the browser to the server without page reloads, or does the server need to push realtime updates to the browser as well? Are there multiple players playing the same game simultaneously (so, if one player updates a cell, the other players' browsers need to show the update automatically)?
Regarding the design/display of the grid itself, you'll need to figure out the HTML/CSS for that. Once you do, though, you can use web2py's HTML helpers and template language to automate the building of each grid. If you show some HTML (or at least a mockup), we can probably help with the template code.
