About Us

We're both game devs with a great love for all kinds of video and board games. Nothing's better than working on making a game all day long to then going back home and playing more games!

Why'd we start The Complete Gaming Directory?

Finding board games outside of board game cafes and friends suggestions can sometimes feel really... clunky, which is why we set up a website for a quicker, smoother experience!

Why couple reviews?

Writing reviews from both our perspectives made the reviews feel more balanced as we have different reasons for why we might like or dislike similar things. It seemed like a no-brainer!

Who's the couple?

You can call us Anjali and Joshua!
When we're not playing board games or DnD or video games, we're usually at our allotment growing our own food and pretty flowers.
The website to find your favourite games, where to buy them, reviewed by yours truly.
