Dominoes is played on a single line that grows from both ends. A tile has two halves and can only be laid against an end that matches one of them. It looks like number matching, and it is really an exercise in tracking what has been played and what the others still hold.
The Balotk version is block dominoes as commonly played in the Gulf: there is no drawing from a boneyard, so a player with no matching tile passes. Every tile you lay is information you hand your opponent, and every pass they make is information they hand you.

No. This is block dominoes as played in the Gulf: a player holding no matching tile passes the turn instead of drawing.
The player holding the highest double, which is double six when it is in the deal, and otherwise the next double down.
It happens when the line is stuck and no player can lay a tile on either end. The pips in every hand are then counted and the lowest count wins.
Seven, whatever the number of players. With four players the set runs out exactly, and with fewer the remaining tiles are set aside unused.
Two to four, with four being the usual table, and every player receives seven tiles in each case.
