Strategy Dameo differs in tactics and strategies to other draughts/checkers variants due to its double grid and linear movement of men. Familiar concepts such as majority capture, ladders and bridges, and the coup turc are present, along with unique tactics and strategies, such as the Oblique Hit and the King's Trap. Majority CaptureMajority Capture : If Black moves his king on b1 to f1 trying to capture White’s men on f2 and f5, white can respond by moving his man on a3 to a4. Due to the maximum capture rule Black must move f1 to f6 instead of capturing White’s man on a4. This allows White to respond by capturing all of Black’s men on a5, b6, c7, d8, e7, and Black’s King on f6. Majority Capture  is a fundamental part of Dameo. The substance of it is the sacrifice of two or more men in order to manipulate the opponent's position to set up a devastating counterattack. This usually takes the form of board spanning multiple captures for material advantage, but can be for the sake of a positional advantage ending in the promotion to a King as well. Majority capture often plays a role in more specific or localized tactics such as the Ladder Strike, Coup Turc, or Oblique hit. Ladderand Bridge Ladder : If Black moves his man on f6 to f5 trying to gain material advantage, White can respond by moving his man on e5 to c7 with linear movement. This forces Black to move his man on b7 and capture white’s men on c7 and d6 landing on d5 because of the maximum capture rule. White can then counterattack with his man on g5, capturing Black’s men on f5, d5, c4, and b3 winning the game.  In a ladder strike, the capture resembles moving up or down stairs, as the men are positioned (or forced into a position) where a row of men are lined up diagonally. Clever positioning of your own piece can allow for a majority capture wherein the piece simply "goes up or down the stairs" by alternating capture up (or down) with right or left movement. Setting up this type of majority capture often involves an opponent's piece carelessly placed between two of your own pieces.
