El Soneto, a game designed by Juan Carlos Romero, invites 2 to 4 players to take on the role of these novice poets, vying for a place amongst the literary greats. The game is a celebration of words, where players must choose letter cards from the famous gossip mills of Madrid to create words that showcase their mastery of language.

The game is won by the player who accumulates the most prestige points, declared the winner of Lope de Vega's competition. With a playtime of 60 minutes and normal complexity, El Soneto is an engaging and challenging experience for board game enthusiasts.
