EA has flat out stated that followers should not anticipate The Sims 5 anytime quickly. However for those who’re searching for a brand new launch from the franchise, you will be blissful to know a brand new Sims recreation truly did simply come out July. Did you by some means miss this momentous information? I actually did, and that is as a result of it is truly only a board recreation. The Sims Board Recreation arrived at Goal on July 20, 2025 and it appears to have gone largely unnoticed.
Which makes plenty of since to me. It has been a very long time since I’ve performed The Sims 4, however having spent an honest period of time in that recreation I am unable to actually conceptualize how it will successfully transition to a tabletop expertise. The board recreation itself is a collaboration with Goliath that was introduced again in February and garnered a bit of reports protection from varied gaming retailers, however now that it is available for purchase no person appears to be speaking about it.

I’ve no plans on ever buying or taking part in this recreation, however for the sake of this text I watched the official the right way to play video just lately revealed on the Goliath YouTube channel. It is about 5 and a half minutes lengthy and after sitting by the entire thing, I am nonetheless undecided the right way to categorize this recreation and even the right way to truly play it. The gameplay and guidelines appear unnecessarily complicated regardless of the narrator suggesting simply “tossing out the rulebook” early on within the video. The principle theme of the sport is that every participant tries to earn factors by finishing aspirations and varied actions all through play. The primary participant to eight factors wins, with the bonus choice of taking part in to 10 factors as a substitute to make the sport longer.
As complicated because the gameplay appears, what turns me off to this recreation probably the most about this recreation is that it is meant for 2-5 gamers. That instantly removes the factor about taking part in The Sims I loved probably the most: That I obtained to do it on my own. Introducing a number of gamers into the expertise looks as if a recipe for catastrophe. It is being marketed as a household board recreation, however I may by no means think about attempting to play this with my precise household.
Though it initially launched at Goal, The Sims Board Recreation is at present out there to preorder from Amazon with an August 15 launch date. For those who really feel like giving it a strive, it’s truly fairly fairly priced at $19.99.
