   Croda Strategy 

Because of the absence of one-on-one opposition, Croda strategy is more about pace & breakthrough than about tempo & opposition. Differences in pace derive from one source only: captures. Contrary to   Draughts , one cannot afford a huge arrears in pace on grounds of tempoconditions. Moreover, the margin of error is very small: in Croda the two-against-one king's endgame is a win.

As all draughts variants that feature straight forward movement, like Turkish, HexDame and Dameo, Croda encourages a build-up of forces along the sides, though the importance of the center remains undisputed.
