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 adaptation 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 the digital realm. Since its 2000 debut, The Sims has become a hugely successful video game franchise, consistently updated despite the last main installment, The Sims 4, releasing in 2014.

Jochanan Golad, CEO of Goliath Games, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing Goliath's expertise in creating immersive physical games. He assures fans the board game will offer a unique, yet faithful, The Sims experience.

Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, highlighted the importance of this milestone 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 more details closer to launch.

The New York Toy Fair will offer a deeper look into the game's design and mechanics. While specifics remain confidential, both companies aim to translate core The Sims elements—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into the board game format. This innovative addition will delight both Sims fans and board game enthusiasts.
