The Sims Franchise Expands into Board Games with Goliath Games Partnership

The Sims franchise is venturing into the world of tabletop gaming for the first time ever with an all-new board game launching in Fall 2025. This exciting collaboration is with Goliath Games, a leading manufacturer of toys and games.

Goliath Games promises a fresh and engaging physical Sims experience. More details will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, running March 1st-4th.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Sims is expanding beyond digital realms with a board game designed to capture the essence of the beloved life simulation series.

Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Creative Franchise for The Sims, highlighted the importance of this milestone in the franchise's 25th year. She lauded Goliath Games' ability to create an engaging and enjoyable board game. The Sims Board Game will be available globally at major retailers, with further information released closer to launch.

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