The Sims franchise is venturing into the world of tabletop gaming with its first-ever board game, launching in Fall 2025. This exciting new project is a collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading manufacturer of toys and games.
Goliath Games promises a fresh and engaging way for Sims fans to experience the franchise in a physical format. More details about the game will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, running March 1st to 4th.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Sims is expanding beyond digital platforms. This board game aims to capture the essence of the beloved life simulation series. Launched in 2000, The Sims has become one of the most successful video game franchises, with numerous titles, expansions, and updates. Despite the last main installment, The Sims 4, being released in 2014, the franchise continues to thrive through ongoing updates and additions.
Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing Goliath's expertise in creating immersive physical games. He assures fans the board game will offer a unique Sims experience while remaining true to the series' core gameplay.
Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, highlighted the importance of this milestone in the franchise's 25th year. She praised Goliath Games' ability to create an engaging and fun board game. The Sims Board Game will be available globally at major retailers, with further information released closer to the launch date.
At the New York Toy Fair, Goliath Games will provide further details on the game's design and mechanics. While specifics are currently under wraps, both companies aim to incorporate key Sims elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into the board game experience. This innovative addition to the franchise is eagerly anticipated by Sims fans and board game enthusiasts alike.
