You are correct about the different rules. Last year each table set their own perimeters. When we first started playing (15 years ago), my brother and sister in law taught us (they learned when visiting relatives in Montana). Then we bought a set of dominoes and the printed rules were different. That set was missing the double 11 so we took it back and got another set. Different rules in that one. Then we bought a second set to keep in the RV. Different rules again. We bought a set for my Mother. You guessed it! Different rules. So it is no wonder that people play by different rules. When we play with our family there is usually a large group playing so we use the rules that get you started faster (start with the highest double that someone has) so people don't get bored.
Happy trails........................
