Abstract: Abstract We provide conditions guaranteeing the existence of Nash equilibrium in games in which players’ preferences can be arbitrary binary relations. Our main result generalizes Reny’s (Economic Theory, forthcoming) existence result for games with ordered preferences and He and Yannelis’ (Economic Theory, forthcoming) existence result for abstract economies with non-ordered preferences.
