The objective of Quarry is to maneuver your quarry workers to the other side of the board before your opponent. You do this by shifting columns of rocks either up or down .
GAME PLAY
At the beginning of the game, the computer will randomly decide who will take the first turn. The computer will always play the red team while you will play the blue.
When it is your turn to move, special arrows along the top and bottom of the board will signify the valid columns you can push. A column is only valid when one of your players is located in that column. Clicking on the arrow icons (either up or down) will shift that column of rocks in that direction. Once the rocks have shifted, the quarry workers will advance forward if they are not blocked. If a worker is located at the top of the column and that column is pushed up, then the worker will appear at the bottom of the column after the rocks have shifted. The opposite is true if the worker is at the bottom of the column and the push is down, then the worker will reappear at the top of the column.
When a worker reaches the other side of the board, the worker will randomly reappear back at the starting column and one point will be added to the score box.
Players continue to take turns shifting the columns, until one player can get 6 * of their workers to the other side of the board.
* You can set the length of game to 8, 12 or 16 workers for longer games. This feature is found on the Option Menu.
