I'm not certain whether you're referring to a specific game of that name (that I've never heard of before) or the general practice of forcing someone defeated in a scuffle to "say uncle".
If it's the latter, it was the probably the ancient Romans. In their culture, the patruus, or father's brother (they had a different word avunculus for a mother's brother, and it's from this word that we get the English word "uncle" that we use no matter which side of the family they're from) was generally regarded as someone deserving of a great deal of respect. Forcing someone to call you patruus was essentially equivalent to telling them "say I'm the boss of you."

Who invented the game Battleship?
My Great Great Uncle Rudolph Lapps invented the game. He was an engineer in Michigan and would travel home to Pennsylvania to see his sister and her two daughters Janice and Betty. When he would come visit he kept the girls busy by making up this game for them to play. It was until he shared this idea with a friend in hopes of marketing it that he ran with the idea to Milton Bradley Games. My uncle never received any money or contributions for his invention but we still have the original game in our family to this day! It was in the early 1900's.
