It's a dream come true for anyone who loves both board games and The Sims. It's been officially announced that a The Sims board game will launch in mid-August, specifically on the 15th. For just $20, you can already pre-order a copy on Amazon right now.
The game is designed for two to five players and aims to preserve the spirit of the video game while making some adjustments to work as a tabletop experience. Each player will receive a goal and a personality to embody, and throughout the game, they'll draw cards representing different life events, reacting to them as they go. Players will explore a game board modelled after an iconic The Sims neighbourhood, collecting "SIMbols" with the ultimate objective of being the first to gather enough matching SIMbols to complete their personal life goal.
