Arkham Horror
How do I engage an elusive monster so I can evade it?
The rulebook's Elusive entry describes the no-engage rule, and the attack action is how you engage a monster.

Engage it with an attack action or another action that engages, because an Elusive monster does not engage you when you move in. Once engaged, it stays engaged until you evade or defeat it, even if your attack does not kill it, and it can attack you in the Monster Phase.
