The existence of pure-strategy Nash equilibrium is shown for a non-cooperative game with a continuum of small players and a compact action space. The players’ payoffs depend on their own actions and the mean of the transformed strategy profiles. This covers the case when the payoffs depend on players’ own actions and finitely many summary statistics. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg 2005
