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 collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading toy and game manufacturer, promises a fresh and engaging physical interpretation of the beloved life simulation series.

Further details about the game will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th). This board game marks a significant milestone in The Sims' 25th-anniversary celebrations, expanding its reach beyond the digital realm. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a hugely successful video game franchise, continuously captivating players with numerous titles, expansions, and updates. Even without a new main installment since The Sims 4 (2014), its popularity remains strong thanks to ongoing content additions.

Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing his company's expertise in crafting immersive physical games. He assured fans the board game will offer a unique Sims experience while remaining faithful to its core gameplay.

Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, highlighted the importance of this project during the franchise's 25th anniversary, praising 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 released closer to the launch date.

Goliath Games will provide a deeper look into the game's design and mechanics at the New York Toy Fair. While specifics remain confidential, both companies aim to translate key elements of The Sims' life simulation—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into the board game format. This innovative addition will undoubtedly excite both long-time Sims fans and board game enthusiasts.
