N2 - This chapter proposes to marry generalised quantifiers with game-theoretic semantics (GTS). It is argued that generalised quantifiers are no impediment to a game-theoretic interpretation. To this effect, semantic game rules for various types of generalised quantifiers are defined. Moreover, game semantics is argued to surpass relational semantics in that it provides (i) a generic method of dealing with context-dependent quantifiers in terms of strategic content and (ii) a general semantics for branching generalised quantifiers.
