Qadesh 1274 BC recounts the war waged between the two powers of the ancient Bronze Age: the famous Egyptian empire of Pharaoh Ramses II and the powerful Hittite empire of King Muwattali, located in Anatolia. Their common goal is to seize the coasts of the Near East (Judea, Syria, Phoenicia) and to defeat the opposing army and its allies.

Qadesh 1274 BC is played over 16 turns, each representing approximately 6 months (8 years), from 1277 to 1269 BC. It is designed for 2 players: Egyptians versus Hittites, in the Near East.
