How many existing game system families are there? E.g. grouping broadly similar systems.. I'm pretty new, but the ones I see are maybe:

D&D-like (stats and crunch)
PbtA (more narrative driven)
Fate style? Attribute driven?
Card-prompts (For the Queen, The Quiet Year)

Might be grouping them wrong, I haven't played all of them..

You'd pick up group theory and see how many are there actually

Eh? I did a group theory (topology) course at Uni, I dont see how it's related? You'd need a categorisation system before you can do treat anything meaningful with groups, and there are hundreds of plausible orthogonal ways to divide up the space of all TTRPGs
