Nash equilibria for non-binary choice rules

We prove the existence of equilibria in games with players who employ abstract (non-binary) choice rules. This framework goes beyond the standard, transitive model and encompasses games where players have non-transitive preferences (e.g., skew-symmetric bilinear preferences).
