First player advantage

It seems to me that the creators should have balanced the game somehow, for example, by giving all players (except the first) 3 keys at the start.

This is balance suggestion I agree with. Starting player can see 9 cards before the opponent's can make a selection, guaranteeing a good start. As the gap between excellent and decent start cards is small, it isn't an overwhelming advantage but it's certainly a real factor. Maybe a key is too much, maybe an extra gold coin.
