Sims Taps Goliath Games for Board Game Expansion

The Sims franchise is branching into tabletop gaming with its inaugural board game launching fall 2025. This groundbreaking crossover results from a collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading toy and game manufacturer.

Goliath Games pledges to deliver an innovative physical adaptation that captures The Sims' signature gameplay. Further announcements will be unveiled during New York Toy Fair from March 1-4.

Marking its 25th anniversary milestone, The Sims expands beyond digital realms with a board game embodying the essence of its acclaimed life simulation series. Since debuting in 2000, The Sims has evolved into gaming's most enduring franchises through multiple iterations and continuous updates. Though The Sims 4 remains the latest core installment since 2014, ongoing content keeps the community thriving.

Goliath Games CEO Jochanan Golad shared his excitement about this partnership, emphasizing their expertise in crafting engaging physical games. He assured players the adaptation would honor The Sims' spirit while introducing fresh tabletop interpretations.

The Sims' Vice President of Creative Franchise Lyndsay Pearson highlighted this expansion's significance during their silver anniversary. She commended Goliath Games' ability to translate The Sims' magic into board game form. The global release will be available at major retailers, with details forthcoming.

New York Toy Fair attendees will gain deeper insights into gameplay mechanics and design philosophy. While specifics remain confidential, developers aim to incorporate quintessential Sims elements - character customization, social dynamics, and personal development - seamlessly into tabletop format. Both series veterans and board game aficionados can anticipate this imaginative fusion.
