Is the first edition playable as printed, or should I adopt second-edition changes?
Community advice only; the second-edition changes are not in this edition's rulebook.

It plays fine as printed. Players commonly suggest three small changes borrowed from the second edition: an extra Dwarf Elite in Erebor at setup, the Shadow having to allocate a die to the Hunt Box when the Fellowship moved the previous turn, and no need to declare (and so be hidden) to enter Mordor. These are house rules, not part of this rulebook. Card wording differs a little, which matters for clarity more than balance.
