The Sims is venturing into the world of tabletop gaming! In Fall 2025, the iconic life simulation franchise will debut its first-ever board game, a collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading manufacturer of toys and games.
Goliath Games promises a fresh and engaging physical Sims experience. More details will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th).
This board game launch is part of The Sims' 25th-anniversary celebration, expanding the franchise beyond the digital realm. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a hugely successful video game franchise, consistently updated and expanded despite the last main installment, The Sims 4, launching in 2014.
Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed 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, praising Goliath Games' ability to create an engaging board game. The Sims Board Game will have a global release at major retailers; more information will be available closer to the launch date.
Goliath Games will share further details on the game's design and mechanics at the New York Toy Fair. While specifics are still under wraps, both companies aim to translate key Sims elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into a compelling board game experience. Get ready for this innovative addition to the Sims franchise!
