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 collaboration with Goliath Games, a leading toy and game manufacturer, promises a fresh and engaging physical Sims experience.

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

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 an engaging and enjoyable board game. The Sims Board Game will have a global release at major retailers, with further details released closer to launch.

Goliath Games will provide more insights into the game's design and mechanics at the New York Toy Fair. 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.
