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 physical interpretation of The Sims. Further details will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, running from March 1st to 4th.
As part of its 25th-anniversary celebration, The Sims is expanding beyond the digital realm. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a hugely successful video game franchise, boasting numerous titles, expansions, and updates. Despite the last main installment, The Sims 4, releasing in 2014, the franchise continues to thrive with 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 assured 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 experience. The Sims Board Game will have a global release at major retailers, with more details closer to launch.
Goliath Games will offer further insights into the game's design and mechanics at the New York Toy Fair. While specifics remain confidential, both companies aim to translate key Sims life simulation elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into the board game format. Fans of The Sims and board games alike eagerly anticipate this innovative addition to the franchise.
