Islands At War by Srekel
An intriguing mix of card game and tower defense game.
Made in C# with XNA 3.1 ( so you'll need that version to play. Link in readme).
I'm really quite please with the game. It's quite fun, and even though the easiest level is a tad too hard (a total noob should be able to win it the first time preferrably), and the Very Hard one might very well be impossible, there's a nice range of difficulty levels depending on what you're after.
There's certainly more that could be done with this game but I'm happy with the result given the small amount of time I had for it. :)
Again, if it crashes for you, just get the XNA 3.1 redist:

During playtesting it was interesting to notice how, before I put up the "seriously, do this" text in the menu, no-one looked at the help screen. You really have to force players to do these kinds of things.
Oh and yes, there's a bug which has to do with the money: It seems to be off by one every now and then. Quite annoying, and I knew about it before submission, but I didn't think it'd be that frequent. And I was tired ;)
