Welcome to Juicy Human

Who we are

My name is Jay Mansmann, and I'm the main designer here at Juicy Human. I started designing digital board games shortly after college, just as a way to practice software development. After a very long break, I started designing physical board games in 2025. My favorite games (besides my own) are Pounce (the fast-paced, real-time, multiplayer solitaire card game), King of Tokyo, and basically every word game.

My wife's name is Lucy Hu (Jay + Lucy = Juicy, Hu + Mansmann = Human. Cool, right?). She's the boss, the lead play tester, and the logistics specialist. She loves Pounce, Tearable Quest, and any game that takes under a minute to learn.

What's next

Our first game - Spartan Speech - just funded on Kickstarter. The factory should be finished printing 1000 copies in the next few months, and we hope to make the game available on Amazon and in stores around Cincinnati.

Our second game - From Here to There - is still in play testing, and we hope to get it all finished up in 2027. Sign up for the newsletter to hear the latest news about our games.
