Helsinki Market square, July 19, 1952 – excitement is in the air. The market is sprawling with tourists from all over the world on the advent of the Helsinki Summer Olympics. The players represent stand holders who have come to the Helsinki Market Square from different provinces. Sell miniature replicas of the Paavo Nurmi statue, lemonade, ice cream, and of course Baltic herrings straight from the fishing boats! Do not be afraid of tough competition, even if the other players are trying to steal your customers! Use clever tactics to collect the best paying customers to your stands. Hop in to the nostalgic ambiance of the Market Square of the 1950s! Tori is a hand management and a tile placement game that simulates the function of the markets as every player competes for the same customers. Customers' consumption needs change constantly, so you have to be aware of where the customers are heading next! Tori, published on June 12, 2010 in Finland by Competo / Marektoy, continues Kimmo Sorsamo's Helsinki Game Trilogy, as the first part, murder mystery game Epäillyt (The Suspects), was released in 2009.

Tori supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Tori is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tori for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Tori has a complexity rating of 2.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
