There is no comprehensive strategy article for Quarry.
Quarry is fairly straightforward in how you would play it. It only lowers the cost of action cards, so it is worse than Silver when buying Treasure or Victory only cards. And unless you are getting a large number of actions, it is likely to be the same as Silver since you often end up overpaying anyway. It is helpful with plenty of +buy from other cards and cheap actions, such as Hamlet, or if you want to get a high cost action car quickly like Forge or Expand. It is particularly strong in Kingdom's with Grand Market since 2 Quarries is enough to buy Grand Market, which quickly leads to turns buying multiple Grand Markets for a quick economic explosion.
Because Quarry only affects action cards, it is typically a bad purchase in a Big Money type game.
