Ultimately I’ll get to the whole book as I play along, but I love videos like this that get me knowing the basics really fast-so I can get onto more fun tasks-like getting to know the strategies of my hero’s cards.

Pursuant to monster initiative value index 3, subsection 6, article 2.2, a monster is considered "active" when any party, or parties, or any related entities acting on the part of a party or parties, with applicable permissions, draws a card with a net value range of 2, as determined by the second player clockwise from the Start Position, chosen during setup by referring to the appropriate column in the Moon Phase chart, depending on the day of the month play began, and counting backward by inverse square, unless at least 1 - but no more than 3 - party members, Anointed Companions, or Hirelings with a Primal value of 6 or less, counted as two-thirds of the number of players when the ratio of male to female players exceeds half the monetary resale value of socks in the household, not counting pets, ends his or her or their turn on an Opposite tile, in which case all players must return one item to the discard pile, or the Wandering Merchant, whichever is closest to the nearest electrical household appliance, before calculating initiative starting at value index 3 subsection 7, article 1.0 and proceeding through article 47.2, using the character count of each third verb on the indicated page of Rush Limbaugh's "The Way Things Ought To Be" (Pocket Books, 1992) if purchased before opening Gloomhaven, but before punching out tile markers, or after opening Gloomhaven and punching out all tiles, if any female player is named "Margaret".

Basically this. SUSD did a recent playthrough of the game and they made a legion of rules errors, some fairly consequential, and they didn't publish errata or corrective captions or anything. And these are literal professionals. Which makes me wonder: how on earth do they have any idea on how well the game is balanced when they clearly haven't played the game correctly? Especially given that many rounds can be so close. This is all to say that the rules are pretty intimidating, particularly the finer points on monster AI movement.

They DO draw a card for their attack. What I meant by the "move +0 and attack +0" is that is effectively what they do on their turn - treat it as if they had a monster ability cards with "move +0 and attack +0". i.e. They move, and then they attack. But they draw a card from your attack modifier deck when they attack.
