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 full details unveiled at the New York Toy Fair (March 1st-4th).

Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing 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, highlighted the significance of this 25th-anniversary milestone. She commended Goliath Games' ability to create an engaging and enjoyable board game experience. The Sims Board Game will have global distribution at major retailers, with more details closer to the release date.

Further details on the game's design and mechanics will be revealed 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 format. Fans of The Sims and board game enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate this innovative addition to the franchise.
