The Sims Franchise Expands into Board Games with Goliath Games Partnership

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, with further details to be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th).

As part of its 25th-anniversary celebration, The Sims expands beyond digital realms, bringing the beloved life simulation series to the board game table. 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, being released in 2014, the franchise continues to thrive through 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 assured fans the board game will offer a unique Sims experience, faithfully reflecting 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 details released closer to the launch date.

Goliath Games will share more about 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 elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into the board game experience. This innovative addition to the franchise will delight both Sims fans and board game enthusiasts alike.
