How do I create larger structs using tables in lua? (in the pico-8 game engine)

I am making a card game and im now revamping how individual card information is stored.

a single card would have the following values:

x, y, suit, number, state

this is to be stored in a deck array where card info can be accessed with,

deck[i].suit

yes, yes i can find the suit and number based on its index but no

now i could just individually type up the info for each card but im lazy so i made a init_deck function, that gets called once during...initialization.

deck={}
// lua starts loops with one
function init_deck(deck)
  for s=1,4 do  //  iterate through the 4 suits
    for n=1,13 do  //  iterate from ace to king
      add(deck,{x=0,y=0,suit=s,number=n,state=1})
    end
  end
end

function init()
  init_deck(deck)
end

function draw()
  print(deck[2].number) // should print 2  // output is 13
  print(deck[2].suit) // should print 1  // output is 4
  print(deck[2].state) // should print 1  // output is 1
end

ive also used table.insert where add is being called to the same effect(with the same parameters, also tried with an index parameter, didint work), for some reason the variables that are affected by the for loop are assigned the highest value in the loop.

I am quite confused, Im assuming its a pico-8 thing because the lua documentation includes these things. any support would be appreciated, i now realize i could have manually made every card in the time it took to type this but...
