The Sims is venturing into the world of board games! A brand-new tabletop game, the first of its kind for the franchise, is slated for release in Fall 2025, thanks to a partnership with Goliath Games.
Goliath Games promises a captivating and innovative physical Sims experience. Further details about the game's mechanics and design will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th).
This board game launch coincides with The Sims' 25th anniversary, marking a significant expansion beyond the digital realm. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a massively successful video game franchise, boasting numerous titles, expansions, and consistent updates. Even without a new main installment since The Sims 4 (2014), the franchise remains incredibly popular.
Jochanan Golad, Goliath Games' CEO, expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing his company's expertise in creating immersive physical games. He assured fans the board game will offer a unique twist on the familiar Sims experience while maintaining its core gameplay.
Lyndsay Pearson, The Sims' Vice President of Creative Franchise, highlighted the importance of this 25th-anniversary milestone. She commended Goliath Games' ability to create a fun and engaging board game. The Sims Board Game will have a global release at major retailers, with more details to be announced closer to launch.
The New York Toy Fair will offer a deeper look into the game's mechanics and design. While specifics are still under wraps, both companies aim to translate key Sims elements – character creation, relationships, and personal development – into the board game format. This innovative addition is sure to excite both Sims fans and board game enthusiasts.
