The Sims Franchise Expands into Board Games with Goliath Games Partnership

The Sims franchise is expanding its universe beyond the digital realm with its first-ever board game, launching in Fall 2025. This exciting new venture is a collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading toy and game manufacturer.

Goliath Games promises a fresh and engaging tabletop experience for Sims fans. More details about the game will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, running March 1st to 4th.

This board game marks a significant milestone in The Sims' 25th-anniversary celebrations, bringing the beloved life simulation series to a physical format. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a hugely successful video game franchise, constantly evolving with new titles, expansions, and updates. Even without a new main installment since The Sims 4 (2014), the franchise remains vibrant thanks to ongoing support.

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

Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, emphasized the importance of this project in the franchise's 25th year, 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 further details announced closer to launch.

At the New York Toy Fair, Goliath Games will offer a deeper look at the game's design and mechanics. While specifics are currently under wraps, both companies aim to translate key Sims elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into a compelling board game experience. This innovative addition to the franchise is sure to excite both Sims fans and board game enthusiasts.
