Steve Levy's book 'artifical life' could probably pinpoint it down to a
specific year (my copy is in college storage boxes somewhere) but early to
mid 1960s Oxford, England seems to ring a bell. It was originally played
by having grad students move the pieces by hand on lunch and coffee
breaks. The board eventually grew in size to all over the tables and
floors.
"From a small square coffee table, it grew, spilling over the side,
colonizing the floor, and stretching towards the corners."
Levy says the date is 1968...
