From BoardGameGeek

From time to time, sprightly spirits are seen jumping around. When these playful beings appear, miracles occur, and the village often flourishes from their harmless pranks. Over time, the villagers become followers, and magnificent Torii gates are erected, allowing people to worship the spirits and express their gratitude. In Torii, players become two playful spirits. On their turn, they choose an action tile to move 1, 2, or 3 steps and spread their followers. When the followers form a line, a Torii is built. What's tricky is that the two spirits will never see each other; they must always jump over the line where the other spirit is present. Plan your moves ahead to block the opponent spirit from going where they want. Or, simply move and see how the other spirit reacts! A breezily fresh yet challenging abstract game. Play in 10-20 minutes. Features a dual-layer board and wooden Torii gates. Six spirits per player provide a unique experience each game. -description from the publisher
