The Sims franchise is venturing into the world of tabletop gaming with its first-ever board game, launching in Fall 2025. This exciting collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading toy and game manufacturer, promises a fresh and engaging physical Sims experience. Further details will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th).
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Sims expands beyond digital realms with a board game capturing the essence of the beloved life simulation series. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a hugely successful franchise, boasting numerous titles, expansions, and updates. Despite the last main installment, The Sims 4, launching in 2014, the franchise continues to thrive through ongoing updates.
Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting Goliath's expertise in creating immersive physical games. He assures fans the board game will offer a unique Sims experience while remaining true to its core gameplay.
Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, underscored the importance of this milestone in the franchise's 25th year, praising Goliath Games' ability to create an engaging and enjoyable board game. The Sims Board Game will have global distribution at major retailers, with more details released closer to the launch date.
Goliath Games will offer deeper insights into the game's design and mechanics at the New York Toy Fair. While specifics are currently under wraps, both companies aim to integrate key Sims life simulation elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into the board game format. This innovative addition to the franchise will appeal to both dedicated Sims fans and board game enthusiasts.
