by

The board game adaptation of the popular video game franchise “The Sims” was first announced in February. Since then, there hasn’t been much information about the game. However, it recently appeared on a roadmap for The Sims with an estimated release window in July. This weekend, attendees at the UK Games Expo got the chance to preview the upcoming board game version of The Sims. As more pictures of the game surface online, publisher Goliath Games has released a new teaser trailer for “The Sims Board Game.” The official US release date has also been announced: July 10th, and pre-orders are now available.

If you’re curious about how The Sims could be transformed into a board game, it’s a question on many fans’ minds too. The physical adaptation of the life simulation game aims to replicate the most recognized elements from the series onto a tabletop setting. With the recent release of a teaser trailer and product description details on pre-order pages, we now have a better idea of what the game will entail. You can watch the new teaser trailer by Goliath in the link provided below:

The sneak peek video offers a glimpse into various aspects of the forthcoming Sims tabletop game. It showcases several game cards, the game layout, and exquisite Plumbob-shaped tokens. Additionally, it incorporates familiar Sims elements such as a Cow Plant and the timeless Bella Goth character. Although the trailer doesn’t explicitly state the launch date, you can find it hinted in the video description.

By clicking on the pre-order link, American gamers can find out when “The Sims Board Game” is coming to Target, which appears to be set for release on July 20th. Fans of The Sims can now pre-order this game, but as of now, it seems that only Target has pre-orders available. Other retailers may eventually offer the game, but they do not have pre-orders available yet. According to a trusted source, Sims Community.com, the UK release date is expected to be slightly later, with sales starting on September 18th. Pre-orders in the UK are currently open via Amazon.

What is The Sims Board Game About?

The brief preview for The Sims Board Game is enjoyable, yet it doesn’t fully explain the game’s rules. Fortunately, the box backside provides additional insights into the gameplay. Add to that, early glimpses from UK Games Expo attendees, and we get a clearer idea of what playing the game will be like when it launches next month.

In the board game version of “The Sims”, players aim to accumulate Aspiration Points by achieving objectives outlined on Aspiration Cards. The first player to collect a total of 8 Aspiration Points wins. However, this being “The Sims”, managing your character’s needs is just as important while working towards these goals. The game features a needs tracker, where players keep tabs on their characters’ motivations. In the video game, a Sim dies if all its needs reach the ‘red’, and in the board game, this is how you lose.
