Our longtime readers may remember that we took a look at the Medieval device known as the ducking stool awhile back. Essentially, the ducking stool was used as a punishment for females convicted of gossiping, backbiting, and verbally haranguing their husbands.

Thanks to our friends over at the Rechtsgeschiedenis Blog, we’ve learned that there is a ducking stool game, created by Britain’s National Archives. You can play it here:
