The Sims franchise is venturing into the world of tabletop gaming for the first time ever with an upcoming board game, slated for release 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, with further details to be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th).
As part of its 25th-anniversary celebration, The Sims is expanding beyond the digital realm. Since its debut in 2000, The Sims has become a hugely successful video game franchise, boasting numerous titles, expansions, and updates. Even without a new main installment since The Sims 4 (2014), the franchise remains vibrant thanks to ongoing updates and additions.
Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing his company's expertise in creating immersive physical games. He assures fans the board game will offer a unique Sims experience while remaining faithful to the core gameplay.
Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, highlighted the significance 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 a global release at major retailers, with more information released closer to launch.
The New York Toy Fair will offer a deeper look into the game's design and mechanics. While specifics are currently under wraps, both companies aim to translate key Sims elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into a compelling board game experience. Fans of The Sims and board game enthusiasts alike can anticipate this innovative addition to the franchise.
