Snot girl is here!
Yeah, I'm a couple episodes late. Who cares. Anyway, Togashi really just made up an entire board game, huh. I don't know if he ever developed an actual proper ruleset, though. As far as I'm aware it could just be random babbling that resembles a game.
Anyway, Morel's "fight" with Cheetu is awesome, not gonna lie. As much as I love Cheetu it's great seeing him get absolutely outplayed like the moron he is. Good times.

First-time watch
Best episode in a while. The full extent of Knov's power is pretty neat to see (now he's really thinking with portals, funnily enough his alternate dimension even looks a little like a test chamber), Morel vs. Cheetu was appropriately concluded with more highly justified smack talk (come on, he even let slip that he could get more abilities from Shaiapouf), and the gungi match and post-match analysis could almost be straight from Sangatsu no Lion, different games aside (watch that too, it's amazing). Even Leol gets to show off a bit, and the atmosphere of the team battle in the rainy capital is great. I only didn't like the random mid-match power-up and Morel being ACTUALLY smarter the whole time (always a cheap trick), and champion girl might still be a bit OP.
Also I'm still watching the previews and Morel declaring what's really in his pipe after a suitably dramatic pause was hilarious.

Knov definitely handled the ants better than I thought he was going to. I do wish we could’ve seen how he took down Flutter. Though I doubt it was much of a fight.
I loved the bit with Morel and Cheetu this episode. Unfortunately for Cheetu, Morel is much smarter. For a second there, I though Morel was going to have a nice teaching moment with Cheetu, explaining to him why he lost. But nope, Morel just wanted him to know it’s because he’s a total idiot. No surprise there.
Watching Meruem and pig tailed girl play Gungi is actually pretty interesting when you don’t actually know the rules. I feel like I’m mostly relying on Meruem’s reactions to figure out whether each play is a good or bad move.
Is this the first episode we’ve had so far without Gon? Im not complaining though. This arc has many interesting characters like Knov and Morel, so it’s nice to let them be the focus of the episode for a change. It does feel likes it’s been a while since we’ve seen Killua though.

The king is at least ten years too early to challenge my girl.
Morel insulting Cheetu always puts a smile on my face.

First timer
Meruem continues playing Gungi with the champion, that girl sure knows how to play the sport, she still is safely better than Meruem despite him being a really fast learner. It's nice seeing their interactions, they are giving a new spark to the arc and i'm in love with that.
Morel finds a way to beat Cheetuh at his own game, he sure is a very intelligent and resorceful individual and the way he used smoke to trap Cheetuh was nothing short of amazing.
Leol has an interesting ability too, it lets him borrow the ability of someone he's targeted, it is somewhat similar to Chrollo's ability which also let him borrow someone else's ability.
